French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring tender deli roast beef, melty provolone cheese, and crispy French fried onions all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Baked to a golden crisp and served with a rich, savory au jus dipping sauce made from beef consommé and flavorful seasonings, these roll ups make an irresistible appetizer or main dish that’s perfect for game day or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 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 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. Warm the tortillas: Microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds to warm them slightly, which makes rolling easier and prevents cracking.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  3. Assemble the roll ups: Lay one tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half of it. Top with about 3 ounces of deli roast beef and 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 place: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly and press the oiled edge to seal. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all tortillas, fitting four on one baking sheet.
  5. Brush with olive oil: Brush the tops and sides of each roll up with the remaining olive oil to ensure a crispy, golden finish.
  6. Bake the roll ups: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese begins to bubble at the edges.
  7. Prepare the au jus sauce: 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 for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
  8. Rest and slice: Let the baked roll ups rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to set. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds using a sharp serrated knife.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately with the warm au jus dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Warming tortillas before rolling prevents cracking and makes wrapping easier.
  • Using freshly sliced deli roast beef from the counter ensures tender texture and better flavor than pre-packaged beef.
  • Brushing olive oil on the outside before baking helps create a crispy, golden crust.
  • The au jus sauce made with beef consommé is richer and more flavorful than regular beef broth.
  • Letting the roll ups rest after baking helps the cheese set to avoid oozing when sliced.
  • Pair roll ups with crispy oven fries or a fresh green salad to balance the rich, savory flavors.
