Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (about 12 inches in diameter)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced, deli counter preferred)
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef (freshly sliced, medium-thin)
  • 1 cup French fried onions (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Au Jus Dipping Sauce

  • 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. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Warm Tortillas: Microwave each tortilla for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
  3. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half of it. Add approximately 3 ounces of medium-thin roast beef on top, followed by a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
  4. Roll and Seal: Starting from the filled edge, roll the tortilla tightly and press the oiled edge to seal. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil. This step helps achieve a crispy and golden brown crust.
  6. Bake: Bake the roll ups for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for golden-brown tortillas with cheese bubbling slightly at the edges.
  7. Make Au Jus: 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, whisking to blend, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
  8. Rest and Slice: Once baked, let the roll ups rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to set. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds with a sharp serrated knife.
  9. Serve: Serve the sliced French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups immediately with warm au jus for dipping, alongside complementary sides like crispy oven fries or a simple green salad.

Notes

  • Warming the tortillas briefly before assembling prevents cracking when rolling.
  • Using fresh deli roast beef sliced medium-thin ensures tender roll ups and easy rolling.
  • Brushing olive oil on the rolls before baking creates a crispy, golden crust.
  • Let the roll ups rest after baking to prevent cheese from spilling out when sliced.
  • The au jus uses beef consommé for a richer flavor compared to standard beef broth.
  • These roll ups can be served as an appetizer or main dish depending on portion size.
  • Pair with crispy oven fries or a fresh green salad for balanced flavors and textures.
