French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups (Printable Version)

Crispy tortillas filled with roast beef, provolone, and fried onions, baked golden and served with au jus.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the 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

→ For the Au Jus Dipping Sauce

06 - 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
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

# Steps to Follow:

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, 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, enclosing 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 is just starting 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, whisking to blend. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
08 - Let baked roll ups 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.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Tastes like a fancy steakhouse appetizer, but comes together in 25 minutes with zero fuss.
  • The roasted tortilla exterior gets gloriously crispy while the cheese melts into every corner, creating pockets of gooey comfort.
  • Your guests will ask for the recipe because it feels thoughtful, but you'll know it's actually just assembled, not complicated.
02 -
  • Cold tortillas will tear when you roll them, so either microwave them for 10 seconds or work with them at room temperature to avoid frustration and wasted filling.
  • That 2-minute rest after baking is not optional; it's the difference between a cohesive bite and filling spilling onto the plate.
03 -
  • Ask your deli counter for fresh roast beef sliced medium-thin; it makes rolling easier and the texture inside stays tender instead of chewy.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper on your baking sheet, because it prevents sticking and makes cleanup feel like a gift to your future self.
