French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

These French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a fun and tasty twist on the classic sandwich. Filled with roast beef, provolone cheese, and crispy fried onions, they’re baked to golden perfection and served with a savory au jus for dipping.

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

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Step 2: Lay one tortilla flat. On half of it, place 2 slices of provolone cheese, 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.
3. Step 3: Roll the tortilla tightly from the filled end to enclose the fillings. Press the oiled edge to seal and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
4. Step 4: Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with the remaining olive oil to help them crisp and brown.
5. Step 5: Bake the roll ups for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through if needed, until the tortillas are golden and the cheese starts to bubble.
6. Step 6: While they bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking occasionally, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and aromatic.
7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to set.
8. Step 8: Slice each roll into halves or thirds, arrange on a platter, and serve immediately alongside the warm au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a thin spread of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard inside the tortillas before assembling.
• Swap provolone for Swiss or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference.
• Use homemade French fried onions for a fresher crunch and to control saltiness.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Keep the au jus in a separate container and warm it gently on the stove before serving again.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups a few hours before baking. Keep them covered in the refrigerator and bake just before serving for best results.

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

You can substitute beef broth or stock, though the flavor might be slightly less rich. Adjust seasonings to taste if using broth.

Main 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

Au Jus Ingredients

• 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 Pan: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the roll ups and quick cleanup.
2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla, then add about 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef on top. Sprinkle a generous handful of French fried onions over the roast beef. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
3. Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled side, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Press the oiled edge firmly to seal the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil. This will help achieve a crisp, golden exterior when baking.
5. Bake: Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking if needed to ensure even browning. The tortillas should turn golden brown and the cheese should start bubbling at the edges.
6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking to combine ingredients thoroughly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
7. Rest and Slice: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for about 2 minutes. This allows the cheese to set and makes slicing easier. Slice each roll into halves or thirds depending on your serving preference.
8. Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce alongside. Perfect for dipping and enjoying the savory combination of flavors.

Notes

• Freshly sliced roast beef works best for optimal flavor and texture.
• Use store-bought French fried onions for convenience or make homemade for extra crispiness.
• Make sure to seal the tortilla edges well with olive oil to prevent fillings from spilling during baking.
• The au jus can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving.
• For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
• Serve immediately for best taste and texture; leftovers can be reheated but may lose crispiness.
