Note

For a crispier roll, toast the French roll lightly before adding the filling.

You can substitute Jarlsberg cheese with Swiss, Cheddar, or Monterey Jack for different flavor profiles.

If using a microwave with different wattage, adjust cooking times accordingly. Check that beef is fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

For extra heat, use a spicy salsa or add a dash of hot sauce.
