French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups Recipe

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 a warm tortilla. Served with a rich au jus dipping sauce, these roll ups make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

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 beef consommé (10.5 ounces)
• 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. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean countertop. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla.
3. Step 3: Add approximately 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef over the cheese, then sprinkle a generous handful of French fried onions on top.
4. Step 4: Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal it.
5. Step 5: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose all fillings. Press the oiled edge to seal and place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Step 6: Repeat with the remaining tortillas, then brush the tops and sides with the remaining olive oil.
7. Step 7: Bake for 8–10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Step 8: Remove from oven and let the roll ups rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
9. Step 9: Slice each roll into halves or thirds and arrange on a serving platter.
10. Step 10: To prepare the dipping sauce, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan.
11. Step 11: Heat over medium heat, whisking to blend, and simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
12. Step 12: Serve the roll ups immediately with the warm au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, sprinkle a bit of Parmesan cheese on top of the roll ups before baking.
• Use your favorite sliced cheese like Swiss or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
• Make your own French fried onions for a homemade touch and adjust seasoning to taste.
• Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier or more colorful option.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to preserve crispiness. Reheat the au jus on the stove before serving for the best flavor.

FAQs

Can I prepare the roll ups ahead of time?

You can assemble the roll ups ahead and keep them refrigerated, but bake just before serving to maintain a crispy texture.

What can I use if I don’t have beef consommé?

You can substitute beef broth or stock in the dipping sauce, though consommé provides a richer, clearer flavor.
