How to Make French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups
Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
- 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
- 1 cup French fried onions, store-bought or homemade
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Step by Step:
- Set the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over one half of the tortilla, followed by about 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the inside edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil.
- Starting at the filled end, roll up the tortilla tightly, ensuring the fillings are enclosed. Press the oiled edge down to seal. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Brush the tops and sides of each roll lightly with the remaining olive oil to achieve a crisp, golden finish.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until tortillas are golden brown and cheese starts to bubble at the edges.
- While the roll-ups bake, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking to blend. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
- Allow the baked roll-ups to rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack to let the cheese set. Slice each roll into halves or thirds for serving.
- Arrange the slices on a platter and serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.
