French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups (Printable)

Crispy tortillas stuffed with roast beef, provolone, and fried onions, baked and paired with savory au jus.

# What You'll Need:

→ Roll Ups

01 - 4 large flour tortillas, 12 inches in diameter
02 - 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
03 - 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced, medium-thin
04 - 1 cup French fried onions
05 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

→ Au Jus Dipping Sauce

06 - 1 can beef consommé, 10.5 ounces
07 - 1 cup water
08 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
09 - 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
10 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
11 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half the tortilla, top with approximately 3 ounces roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions.
03 - Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
04 - Starting from the filled side, roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Press the oiled edge to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
05 - Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with the remaining olive oil.
06 - Bake 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until tortillas are golden brown and cheese begins to bubble at the edges.
07 - In a small saucepan, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking to blend. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
08 - Allow baked roll ups to rest 2 minutes on the baking sheet.
09 - Slice each roll into halves or thirds with a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like a French dip sandwich but feel fancy enough to serve at parties without spending all day in the kitchen.
  • You can prep them ahead and bake when guests arrive, so you're actually present instead of stressed.
  • The au jus turns what could be ordinary into something restaurant-quality that people genuinely rave about.
02 -
  • Cold tortillas will crack and split when you try to roll them, so that microwave warming step isn't optional, it's essential.
  • Resting the rolls before slicing keeps the filling from spilling out all over the plate, making the whole thing look intentional instead of messy.
  • Watch the oven around the 8-minute mark because ovens vary, and you want golden brown, not burnt edges that taste bitter.
03 -
  • Buy roast beef from the deli counter and ask them to slice it fresh instead of grabbing the pre-packaged version, the flavor and texture are noticeably better.
  • Keep your au jus warm in a small slow cooker or insulated pitcher if you're serving these at a party so guests can dip as they go.
