Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 12 oz thinly sliced roast beef (deli or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 (10.5 oz) can beef consommé or beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Optional: horseradish sauce for serving
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Au Jus
- In a small saucepan, combine the beef consommé and Worcestershire sauce.
- Heat over medium-low until hot, then reduce to a simmer while you make the roll ups.
Step 2: Assemble the Roll Ups
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay each tortilla flat. Layer 2 oz of roast beef and about ¼ cup of shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and parsley over the cheese. Tightly roll up each tortilla and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake
- Brush each roll up with melted butter for golden crispness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and cheese is bubbly.
Step 4: Serve & Dip
- Slice the roll ups in half if desired.
- Serve warm with a bowl of the hot au jus for dipping.
- Enjoy with extra horseradish sauce if you like a zesty kick!
Notes
- For richer flavor, use a mix of provolone and mozzarella cheese.
- To keep tortillas soft and pliable, microwave them in a damp paper towel for 15 seconds before rolling.
- If using homemade roast beef, slice very thin for best results.
Variations
- French Dip Sliders: Swap tortillas for mini slider buns and follow the same recipe.
- Spicy French Dip: Add sliced pickled jalapeños inside the roll ups or stir some hot sauce into the au jus.
- Mushroom Melt: Sauté ½ cup mushrooms and add to the filling with cheese and beef.

Storage Instructions
Store leftover French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Au jus can be kept separately for the same duration. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Pro Tips for Perfect French Dip Roll Ups
