French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring tender roast beef, melted provolone or Swiss cheese, and optional caramelized onions rolled in flour tortillas, baked to a crispy golden perfection, and served with warm au jus sauce for dunking. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or quick meal for parties and game days.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 1214 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

Optional Add-Ins

  • ½ cup caramelized onions
  • 68 thin jalapeño slices
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Additional Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small saucepan

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of cheese on each tortilla. Add optional caramelized onions, jalapeño slices, or shredded cheddar if desired. Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito, without folding the ends. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet to keep them rolled up.
  3. Brush with Butter: Melt the butter and mix in garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Brush the tops of each roll up with this mixture to enhance browning and add flavor.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake the roll ups for 10–12 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortillas turn golden and slightly crisp. Monitor closely towards the end to avoid over-browning.
  5. Make the Au Jus Sauce: While the roll ups bake, combine one packet of au jus seasoning with 2 cups of water or beef broth in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until smooth and slightly thickened. Alternatively, heat 1 ½ cups beef broth and add ½ tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of black pepper if no packet is available.
  6. Serve Warm: Slice each roll up into halves or thirds for easier dipping. Serve with a small bowl of warm au jus sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced roast beef for easy rolling and even heating.
  • Choose medium or large flour tortillas to hold the filling securely.
  • Provolone or Swiss cheese gives the classic French dip flavor.
  • Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Brush with melted or garlic butter for a golden, crispy finish.
  • Serve with warm au jus—store-bought or homemade both work well.
  • Swap roast beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter variation.
  • Store leftovers wrapped in foil or airtight containers; reheat in the oven for the best texture.
