French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring tender deli roast beef and melted provolone wrapped in crispy baked tortillas. These roll ups are served with a savory au jus dipping sauce made from beef consommé and flavorful seasonings, perfect as an appetizer or main dish paired with crisp fries or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (about 12 inches in diameter)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef (freshly sliced, medium-thin)
  • 1 cup French fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Au Jus Dipping Sauce:

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Set your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Warm Tortillas and Assemble Roll Ups: Warm each flour tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds to make rolling easier and prevent cracking. Lay one tortilla flat, place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half of it, then top with about 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the far edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil to help seal it.
  3. Roll and Place on Baking Sheet: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla up tightly, pressing the oiled edge to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all four tortillas.
  4. Brush Olive Oil on Roll Ups: Brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil to ensure a crispy, golden-brown crust during baking.
  5. Bake the Roll Ups: Bake the tortillas for 8 to 10 minutes at 425°F, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with cheese bubbling slightly at the edges.
  6. Prepare Au Jus Sauce: While the roll ups bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisk to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
  7. Rest and Slice Roll Ups: Let the baked roll ups rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to set and avoid oozing. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each roll into halves or thirds.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm roll ups immediately with the au jus dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Warming the tortillas before rolling makes them more pliable and prevents cracking.
  • Using fresh deli-sliced roast beef is crucial for tender roll ups; ask for medium-thin slices.
  • Brushing olive oil on the tortillas before baking helps achieve a crispy crust.
  • Allow the roll ups to rest briefly before slicing to keep the melted cheese contained.
  • Pair these roll ups with crispy oven fries or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
