French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups (Printable)

Crispy tortillas filled with roast beef, provolone, and fried onions, paired with rich au jus sauce.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Roll Ups

01 - 4 large flour tortillas, 12 inches in diameter
02 - 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
03 - 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced, medium-thin
04 - 1 cup French fried onions
05 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

→ Au Jus Dipping Sauce

06 - 1 can beef consommé, 10.5 ounces
07 - 1 cup water
08 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
09 - 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
10 - 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
11 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lay one tortilla flat. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on half, top with approximately 3 ounces roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions.
03 - Lightly brush the far edge of the tortilla with olive oil to facilitate sealing.
04 - Starting from the filled side, roll up tightly, enclosing the filling. Press the oiled edge to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
05 - Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with the remaining olive oil.
06 - Bake 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until tortillas are golden brown and cheese begins to bubble at the edges.
07 - In a small saucepan, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, whisking to blend. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
08 - Let baked roll ups rest 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Slice each roll into halves or thirds with a sharp serrated knife.
09 - Arrange on a platter and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 25 minutes — just 15 minutes of prep and 10 minutes in the oven.
  • Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside — baked at high heat for the perfect golden tortilla shell.
  • Classic French dip flavor — warm au jus dipping sauce makes every bite deeply savory and satisfying.
  • Great for any occasion — works as an easy weeknight main or a crowd-pleasing party appetizer.
  • Simple, accessible ingredients — deli roast beef, provolone, and store-bought fried onions keep it effortless.
02 -
  • Warm your tortillas first — 10 seconds in the microwave makes them pliable and prevents cracking when rolling.
  • Rest before slicing — letting the roll ups sit for 2 minutes helps the fillings stay intact when you cut them.
  • Reheat in the oven — for leftovers, use a 375°F (190°C) oven instead of a microwave to keep the tortillas crispy.
  • Freeze for later — wrap cooled roll ups individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Check your labels — always verify store-bought French fried onions and other packaged ingredients for hidden allergens, especially gluten.
