Ingredients

For the Roll Ups:

12 oz roast beef (deli-style or leftover roast)
8 oz shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
4 flour tortillas (soft yet sturdy)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley (for garnish)

For the Au Jus:

2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy 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 each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place slices of roast beef and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or provolone down the center of each tortilla, being careful not to overfill.
Step 3: Roll the tortillas tightly from one end, folding in the sides to secure the filling. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Brush melted butter over the top of each roll up. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over them.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven and slice into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with the au jus for dipping. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for extra color.

Tips & Variations

Use thinly sliced roast beef for easier rolling and even heating.
Avoid overstuffing tortillas to prevent tearing and ensure secure rolls.
Brush melted butter on roll up seams before baking to seal and add flavor.
Try adding sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick or swap cheeses for Swiss or sharp cheddar.
For a low-carb version, substitute flour tortillas with low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
Add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
Experiment with dipping sauces like spicy mustard or creamy horseradish blends.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain crispness, reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. You can also freeze baked roll ups for up to one month; freeze them in a single layer in an airtight container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven. Serve warm with au jus for the best experience.

How to Serve

Four rolled tortillas with a golden-brown grilled texture on the outside are stacked in a close pile on a wooden board set on a white marbled surface. Each tortilla is filled with a rich, dark brown meat mixture that looks juicy and tender, with bits of melted white cheese oozing out from the ends. Small green herb leaves are sprinkled on top of the tortillas and around the board, adding a fresh contrast. In the background, there is a white bowl with a creamy white sauce, slightly blurred to keep the focus on the tortillas. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

What type of roast beef should I use?

Thinly sliced deli roast beef or leftover roast beef works best for flavor and texture. Ensure the beef is juicy and well-seasoned to complement the other ingredients.

How should I store leftover French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispness before serving.

Can I freeze the French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups?

Yes, you can freeze baked roll ups for up to one month. Arrange them in a single layer in an airtight container, thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes.

What should I do if my roll ups are falling apart?

Overfilling is usually the cause. Use less meat and cheese to enable tight rolling without tearing. Also, brushing melted butter on the seams before baking helps to seal them securely.

Are there any dietary considerations with this recipe?

For lactose intolerance, use lactose-free cheese options. Gluten-free tortillas can be substituted to accommodate gluten sensitivities. Check labels on Worcestershire and soy sauces for allergens.

How can I enhance the flavor of the au jus?

Try adding extra Worcestershire sauce or a splash of red wine. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes and taste as you go to adjust seasoning to your preference.
