Ingredients
Okay, before we roll up our sleeves, let’s gather everything we need!
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces deli roast beef (thinly sliced, look for the good stuff!)
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- ½ cup beef broth (or more for dipping—yum!)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the tortillas)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove of fresh garlic, minced—use fresh for a punch!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Don’t forget: Feel free to add any of your favorite seasonings in this mix! A sprinkle of onion powder or a dash of smoked paprika elevates it beautifully.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s make these delicious roll-ups! Follow me closely, and let’s avoid any kitchen mishaps.
- In a small pan over medium heat, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until it’s well mixed and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This will enhance those savory flavors! Trust me; your kitchen will smell amazing.
- While that’s simmering, lay your tortillas out flat. On each tortilla, layer two slices of roast beef (add more if you’re feeling extra hungry) and one slice of cheese.
- Starting at one end, tightly roll each tortilla away from you. You want it snug, but not too tight that the filling spills out. You’re creating a lovely little package!
- Once rolled, take a sharp knife and slice each tortilla roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the rolls cut-side down in the pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan—give them a little space!
- Toast them for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. Flip them over and toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Feel free to cover them with a lid to help the cheese melt, but keep an eye on them!
- Once they are golden and gooey, remove them from the pan and place them on a cutting board or plate. Let them cool for a minute because they’ll be hot!
- Finally, grab your au jus from the pan and pour it into small bowls for dipping. Serve it warm alongside your roll-ups. Enjoy every bite!
Pro Tips & Variations
Now, let’s get playful with this recipe! Here are a few twists and personalization ideas:
- Cheesy Twist: Add a layer of your favorite cheese blend—cheddar and pepper jack are fabulous!
- Veggie Delight: Toss in some sautéed peppers or onions for an extra veggie punch.
- Spice it Up: Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or a smear of mustard for that extra kick!
- Wrap it Right: If you’re watching carbs, try using a low-carb tortilla or lettuce wraps.
- Flavor Infusion: Marinate the roast beef in your favorite seasonings or even barbecue sauce for a fun twist.
Serving Suggestions
Let your creativity flow here! I love serving these French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups with a side of crispy baked sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad dressed lightly with lemon vinaigrette. You can also pair them with spicy pickles or your favorite chips for that satisfying crunch. For an even cozier vibe, how about enjoying these with a hot cup of coffee or your go-to soda? Dip, munch, relax… it’s a win-win!

Storage Tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare, but it happens), don’t worry! Here’s how to keep your roll-ups fresh:
- Refrigeration: Place your leftover roll-ups in an airtight container. They’ll stay good for about 3-4 days in the fridge. Just be sure to reheat them gently.
- Freezing: You can freeze these delightful bites for up to 3 months. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for best results. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat!
- Reheating: To maintain that crispy texture, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. You’ll be back in flavor town in no time!
FAQs
Can I use a different type of meat for these roll-ups?
Absolutely! While roast beef is traditional, you can definitely switch things up and use turkey, ham, or even chicken. Just make sure to adjust the dipping sauce accordingly to match the flavors!
How do I make this dish gluten-free?
No problem! Just opt for gluten-free tortillas. There are plenty of options available now, and you can still enjoy all those delicious flavors without the gluten!
What can I add to make these roll-ups healthier?
Great question! You can load up on veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or even add slices of avocado. Using low-fat cheese or leaner cuts of meat can also lighten things up. Plus, using whole-grain or fiber-rich tortillas can give you that extra nutritional boost!
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
You sure can! Feel free to assemble the roll-ups earlier in the day, store them in the fridge, and just toast them right before serving. This can save you valuable time during hectic days!
What’s the best way to customize the dipping sauce?
Let your imagination run wild! You can add a splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of sweet chili sauce, or even a hint of horseradish for some heat. Just experiment a bit, and you’ll find the perfect match for your palate!
