How to make French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

Ingredients:

8 large flour tortillas
1 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 packet au jus gravy mix
2 cups water
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
Pro Tip: A preheated oven helps the tortillas crisp evenly instead of drying out.

Step 2: Fill the Tortillas
Lay the tortillas flat. Evenly layer the roast beef over each tortilla, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
Pro Tip: Keep the filling centered and leave clean edges to prevent cheese from leaking while baking.

Step 3: Roll Them Up
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pro Tip: Seam-side down placement keeps the roll ups closed as the cheese melts.

Step 4: Brush with Seasoned Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Brush the mixture evenly over the tortillas.
Pro Tip: The butter adds flavor and creates that golden, crisp exterior.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Pro Tip: Avoid overbaking, which can dry out the beef.

Step 6: Make the Au Jus
While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus using the gravy mix and water according to package directions.
Pro Tip: Let the au jus simmer fully so the beefy flavor develops.

Step 7: Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven, let rest briefly, then slice in half if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with au jus.
Pro Tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and melt.

How to store French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

Tips and mistakes to avoid

Don’t overfill the tortillas: Too much filling can lead to leaks during baking and make the roll ups messy.
Let them cool for a bit before serving: This resting period allows the cheese to firm up slightly, making them easier to slice.
Check your oven temperature: Not all ovens heat evenly. Keep an eye on them while baking to ensure they don’t overcook.

Variation (if any)
You can switch things up with different fillings! Try using pulled pork or shredded chicken in place of roast beef. You could also add sautéed onions and bell peppers for added flavor and texture. For a spicy kick, mix in some jalapeños or switch up the cheese to pepper jack.

You can make your own by simmering beef broth with cornstarch until thickened, adding a bit of soy sauce for flavor if desired.

Absolutely! You can assemble them and store them in the fridge before baking. Just bake them right before serving for the best results.
