Ingredients You’ll Need

• Flour tortillas – Large 12-inch tortillas that are fresh and flexible so they roll without cracking.
• Provolone cheese – Thin deli slices melt beautifully with a mild, nutty flavor.
• Deli sliced roast beef – Freshly sliced from the counter is best for juiciness and tenderness.
• French fried onions – The crisp ones from a fresh bag give these roll ups their amazing crunch.
• Olive oil – Extra virgin adds flavor and helps the tortillas crisp to a gorgeous golden finish.
• Beef consommé – From a can or box; beef broth works too if you want a lighter vibe.
• Water – Needed to balance the richness of the consommé.
• Worcestershire sauce – Adds savory depth.
• Soy sauce – Low sodium keeps things balanced.
• Onion powder & garlic powder – Pantry classics that bring warmth and aroma.

How to Make French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

1. Prep the Oven and Pan

Set your oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. You’ll get evenly crisped tortillas and—my favorite part—a super easy cleanup. Because nobody needs extra dishes at 7 p.m.

2. Fill and Roll the Tortillas

Lay a tortilla flat.
On one half, place one slice provolone, a hearty handful of roast beef, and a layer of French fried onions.

Roll it up tightly. Brush a little olive oil inside the edge before sealing—this helps it stay closed while baking instead of popping open like a rebellious burrito.

3. Arrange and Oil the Roll Ups

Place all four roll ups seam-side down on your baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides with olive oil so they crisp beautifully in the oven. Think of it like giving them a mini spa treatment.

4. Bake Until Crisp and Melty

Bake for 8–10 minutes.
You’re looking for: lightly browned tortillas and cheese just starting to ooze out (the good kind of culinary chaos).

5. Make the French Dip Au Jus

While they bake, combine:

• Beef consommé
• Water
• Worcestershire
• Soy sauce
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder

in a small saucepan.
Bring to a gentle simmer and whisk until it smells like pure comfort in a pot. Keep it warm for dipping.

6. Slice and Serve

Let the rolls rest a couple minutes, then slice into halves or thirds. Arrange on a platter with your hot au jus and enjoy that first dunk. Fair warning: once you take a bite, conversation may cease for a moment.

Tips for Perfect French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

• Use fresh tortillas. Dry ones crack, and then we all get sad.
• Avoid overstuffing. Yes, I know the temptation. But too much filling leads to escape artists.
• Don’t worry about the au jus looking thin. It thickens ever so slightly as it simmers—and even if it doesn’t, the flavor is what matters here.
• Try them in the air fryer. 375°F for about 6 minutes gives a crisp worthy of applause.

Funny story: the first time I made these, my kids ate the entire batch before I sat down. That’s when I realized I’d accidentally created a new family favorite—one I now double every single time.
