How to Make French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Assemble the Roll Ups

Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Season and Bake

Brush the tops of the tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 4: Make the Au Jus

While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes to develop flavor.

Step 5: Serve

Remove roll ups from the oven, slice if desired, and serve warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.
