French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

These French dip tortilla roll ups are what happen when comfort food gets a little creative. They’ve got all the cozy, savory flavors of a classic French dip sandwich—tender roast beef, melty cheese, and rich au jus—but wrapped up in a crispy, golden tortilla that’s perfect for dipping.

They’re quick, satisfying, and just plain fun to eat. The onions turn sweet and fragrant in the pan, the cheese melts into the beef, and when you dunk that crunchy roll up into warm au jus… it’s pure comfort. Perfect for weeknight dinners, casual gatherings, or anytime you want something warm and snackable.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 cup shredded provolone or Swiss cheese

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

For the au jus dipping sauce:

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 1 1/4 cups beef broth

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Sauté the onion and garlic.
   Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Prepare the filling.
   In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, roast beef, black pepper, onion powder, and shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

3. Assemble the roll ups.
   Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-quarter of the beef mixture down the center. Roll it up tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4. Bake until crispy.
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roll ups seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and crisp.

5. Make the au jus.
   While the roll ups bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until slightly thickened.

6. Serve warm.
   Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice in half if you like, and serve hot with the warm au jus on the side for dipping.

Presentation
