Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, wrapped in a soft tortilla for easy handling and dipping. These bite-sized roll ups combine roast beef, melted cheese, and a savory au jus sauce that’s perfect for any snack or appetizer.

The image shows three rolled tortillas, each filled with layers of shredded, juicy brown beef and melted white and orange cheese. The outer tortillas are golden brown with some darker toasted spots and small green herb pieces sprinkled on top. The tortillas are stacked closely together on a wooden surface, and the filling looks rich and gooey, with cheese slightly oozing out. The whole scene is warm and inviting, with a close-up view that highlights the textures of the meat and cheese. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 medium flour tortillas
12–14 oz thinly sliced roast beef
6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 packet au jus mix or 1 ½ cups beef broth
½ cup caramelized onions
6–8 thin jalapeño slices
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of cheese on each tortilla. Add caramelized onions and jalapeño slices if desired, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito, but do not fold the ends. Place the roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them secure while baking.
Step 4: Melt the butter and stir in garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Brush the tops of the roll ups with the butter mixture to help them brown and add flavor.
Step 5: Bake the roll ups for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-crisping.
Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus sauce by combining the au jus seasoning packet with 2 cups of water or beef broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 7: Slice each roll up in halves or thirds for easier dipping and serve warm with the au jus sauce on the side.

Tips & Variations

Substitute provolone or Swiss cheese with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor.
Add a few dashes of hot sauce inside the roll ups for extra heat.
For a richer au jus, sauté some mushrooms in the broth before simmering.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and crispy. Keep the au jus sauce in a separate container and warm it gently on the stove before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows several rolled flatbreads stacked closely together, each with three visible layers: a thin golden-brown outer crispy wrap, a middle layer of melted white cheese with a smooth texture, and an inner layer of tender cooked beef strips with a rich brown color. Small chopped green herbs are sprinkled lightly on the outside and inside, adding little green specks. The rolls have a slightly oily shine and are tightly packed, showing the layers clearly. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator before baking. Just bake them fresh when ready to serve for the best texture.

What can I use if I don’t have an au jus seasoning packet?

If you don’t have an au jus packet, use 1 ½ cups of beef broth and simmer it with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of garlic powder for a flavorful dipping sauce.
