Ingredients
Roll Ups
- 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Assemble roll ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat and evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll tortillas: Roll the tortillas tightly from the center towards the edge, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed while baking.
