French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, combining tender roast beef and melted cheese wrapped in warm tortillas. Served with a flavorful au jus dipping sauce, they make for a perfect appetizer or easy meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (for au jus)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and brush both sides with the butter mixture. Place a layer of roast beef evenly over each tortilla, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
3. Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
4. Step 4: Bake the roll ups for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly golden.
5. Step 5: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
6. Step 6: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the hot au jus on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding sautéed onions or peppers inside the roll ups for extra flavor and texture.
• Use provolone cheese for a milder taste or mozzarella for a gooey, stretchy melt.
• If you prefer a crispier tortilla, broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
• Leftover au jus can be refrigerated and reheated gently before serving.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave briefly. Keep the au jus separate and reheat it on the stove before dipping.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of meat for these roll ups?

Yes, you can use thinly sliced turkey, chicken, or even pastrami as alternatives to roast beef. Just adjust cooking and seasoning as needed.

Is it necessary to use both Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce in the au jus?

Both sauces contribute to a rich, savory flavor, but if you don’t have one, you can omit it. Worcestershire sauce gives depth, while soy sauce adds saltiness and umami.

Roll Ups

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Au Jus

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the roll ups.
2. Prepare the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley that will be sprinkled onto the tortillas.
3. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Brush each tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the surface. Layer a quarter of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, followed by a generous portion of thinly sliced roast beef.
4. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling, making sure the ends are tucked in to prevent fillings from slipping out.
5. Arrange and Bake: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are slightly golden.
6. Make the Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, in a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for 5-7 minutes to develop flavor.
7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups!

Notes

• You can use provolone instead of mozzarella for a slightly different flavor.
• Leftover roast beef or deli style both work well for this recipe.
• For a crispier exterior, brush additional melted butter on the tortillas before baking.
• The au jus can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
• Adjust seasoning in the au jus to your taste preference, especially salt and pepper.
