French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups

French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups offer a quick, flavorful, and mess-free twist on the classic French Dip sandwich. These roll-ups combine tender roast beef, melty cheese, and savory au jus wrapped in soft tortillas, making them perfect for lunch, dinner, or as a shareable snack that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced roast beef (high-quality deli roast beef) – about 8 oz
  • Flour tortillas (soft and pliable) – 4 large
  • Provolone or Swiss cheese slices – 4 to 8 slices
  • Beef au jus or broth – 1 cup
  • Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce – 2 tablespoons
  • Butter or oil (for warming tortillas) – 1 tablespoon
  • Onion powder – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder – 1/4 teaspoon

Optional Variations

  • Grilled mushrooms or seasoned jackfruit (for vegetarian version) – as needed
  • Sliced jalapeños or sriracha – to taste
  • Alternate cheese options: sharp cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack – as desired
  • Gluten-free tortillas (corn or gluten-free flour tortillas) – 4 large
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (for herb-infused au jus) – 1 teaspoon fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the au jus: Warm your beef au jus or broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of onion powder and garlic powder, stirring occasionally to enhance the savory flavors while you assemble the roll-ups.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.
  3. Layer the fillings: Place a tortilla flat and evenly layer sliced roast beef, followed by one or two slices of provolone or Swiss cheese. Spread a light layer of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce if desired for added zing.
  4. Roll and secure: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, keeping the filling inside. Secure with a toothpick if needed to prevent unrolling during serving.
  5. Optional warming: For extra melty cheese and a slight crisp, place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced roast beef for tender, easy-to-bite roll-ups.
  • Avoid overfilling the tortillas to keep roll-ups neat and avoid bursting.
  • Warm tortillas gently to avoid cracking and ease rolling.
  • Serve with classic au jus and/or spicy dipping sauces for varied flavors.
  • Slice roll-ups before serving if offering as appetizer or snack.
