Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring tender roast beef, melted provolone, and crispy fried onions all wrapped in a warm, golden tortilla. Perfect as a snack or party appetizer, they come with a rich au jus dipping sauce that elevates every bite.

Three rolled enchiladas are placed close together on a white plate, each filled with shredded dark brown beef and melted white cheese that oozes slightly at the edges. The outer layer is a golden brown tortilla, toasted with darker browned spots and sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs. A rich, glossy brown sauce pools around the base of the enchiladas on the plate. In the background, slightly out of focus, there is a white cup filled with more brown sauce sitting on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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
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

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make rolling easier and prevent cracking. Lay one tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone on half of it. Top with approximately 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal it.
Step 3: 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 with the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil to achieve a crispy, golden finish.
Step 5: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through for even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with cheese just beginning to bubble at the edges.
Step 6: 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, whisking to blend, and bring to a gentle simmer. Let simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
Step 7: Once baked, let the roll ups rest for 2 minutes on the baking sheet so the cheese can set. Slice each roll into halves or thirds with a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately with the warm au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Use freshly sliced deli roast beef from the counter instead of pre-packaged for a more tender texture and better flavor.
Ask the deli to slice the roast beef medium-thin to make rolling easier and ensure a balanced bite.
Try adding a little horseradish sauce inside the roll ups for a spicy kick.
For a cheesier option, mix provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to maintain the crispy exterior, or warm gently in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel. Keep the au jus refrigerated separately and reheat on the stove before serving.

How to Serve

Three rolled crepes are stuffed with shredded brown meat and melted light yellow cheese. The crepes have a golden-brown crispy texture with some darker spots and are sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs. They are placed side by side on a white plate with some brown sauce pooled underneath and around them. In the background, there is a white cup filled with a dark brown dipping sauce, sitting on a surface with a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

You can assemble the roll ups a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated on the baking sheet covered with plastic wrap. Bake them just before serving to preserve their crispiness.

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

If beef consommé isn’t available, you can substitute with a rich beef broth or stock. Adding a bit of Worcestershire sauce enhances the flavor, making it closer to an authentic au jus.
