Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
  • 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. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the roll ups don’t stick and cleanup is easy.
  2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat. Over half of the tortilla, layer 2 slices of provolone cheese, approximately 3 ounces of roast beef, and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
  3. Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled end, tightly roll the tortilla, enclosing the fillings completely. Press the oiled edge to seal the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each rolled tortilla with the remaining olive oil. This will help the roll ups develop a crisp, golden brown exterior in the oven.
  5. Bake: Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning. The tortillas should be golden brown and the cheese just starting to bubble at the edges.
  6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Whisk well and heat over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to warm fully and develop the flavors for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Rest and Slice: After baking, transfer the roll ups to a wire rack and let them rest for 2 minutes. This rest allows the cheese to set so the slices hold together well. Slice each roll into halves or thirds, depending on serving preference.
  8. Serve: Arrange the slices on a platter and serve immediately with the warm au jus on the side for dipping. Enjoy these crispy, tender French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups as a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use freshly sliced roast beef from the deli for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier au jus, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • French fried onions can be homemade or store-bought; homemade offers a fresher crunch but store-bought is convenient.
  • The olive oil brush step is key to achieving a golden crispy tortilla exterior.
  • Serve these roll ups immediately after slicing for the best texture and flavor.
