Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, combining tender roast beef, melted provolone, and crispy fried onions wrapped in warm tortillas. Served with a savory au jus dip, they make a perfect snack or appetizer that’s both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Four rolled tortillas are stacked on a round white plate, each toasted to a golden brown with darker spots. The tortillas are filled with melted white cheese and shredded dark brown meat, with rich brown sauce dripping out from the ends. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled on top of the tortillas and plate. In the background, to the right, there is a white bowl filled with dark brown dipping sauce, and to the back left, a white bowl with shredded orange cheese. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
1 cup French fried onions, store-bought or homemade
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
1 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Lay one tortilla flat. On half of the tortilla, place 2 slices of provolone cheese, then add about 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil.
Step 3: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Press the oiled edge to seal the roll. Place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with the remaining olive oil to encourage a crisp, golden finish.
Step 5: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through if needed, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese begins to bubble at the edges.
Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus. In a small saucepan, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking to blend. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and aromatic.
Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack to allow the cheese to set.
Step 8: Slice each roll into halves or thirds. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dip for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Warm tortillas briefly before assembling to prevent cracking and make rolling easier.
Allow roll ups to rest before slicing so the fillings stay intact.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
Swap provolone for mozzarella or Swiss cheese according to your preference.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes to keep the tortillas crisp. Store leftover au jus in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove before serving.

FAQs

Can I use different types of meat for these roll ups?

Yes, you can substitute roast beef with other deli meats like turkey, ham, or even cooked shredded chicken for a different flavor profile.

Is it necessary to brush the tortillas with olive oil?

Brushing with olive oil helps the tortillas become golden and crispy when baked, but you can skip this step if you prefer softer roll ups.
