Introduction

These Delicious French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups offer a quick and comforting twist on the classic French dip sandwich. Filled with savory roast beef and gooey melted cheese, they bake to a crispy golden finish and come with a flavorful au jus dipping sauce. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or casual gathering.

Four rolled tortillas form the main layer, each with a golden-yellow surface marked by dark brown toasted spots, giving a crispy look. Inside each tortilla, the filling shows shredded dark brown beef mixed with melted white cheese that peeks out where the rolls end. Green chopped herbs are sprinkled on top for color and freshness. These filled tortillas rest closely on a brown wooden board. In the background, there is a white cup filled with dark brown sauce, garnished with a few herb pieces, sitting on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb thinly sliced roast beef

1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons melted butter

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 garlic powder (additional for sauce)

1 teaspoon onion powder (additional for sauce)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly spread the roast beef and shredded cheese across each one.

Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom up, folding in the sides to secure the filling.

Step 4: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.

Step 5: Place the roll ups on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 6: While baking, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes to create the dipping sauce.

Step 7: Once baked, slice the roll ups into bite-sized pieces and serve warm with the au jus dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add thinly sliced caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms inside the tortillas before rolling.

Use provolone for a slightly sharper cheese taste or mozzarella for a milder, creamier texture.

Brush roll ups with garlic butter instead of plain butter for an even richer crust.

Leftover roll ups can be reheated in a toaster oven to retain crispiness.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and store them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes for an easy prep-ahead meal.

What can I use if I don’t have beef broth?

If you don’t have beef broth, you can substitute with chicken broth or vegetable broth, but the flavor of the au jus may be lighter. Adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce helps boost the savory notes.
