Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced roast beef – about 6 to 8 ounces
- Flour tortillas – 4 large
- Provolone or Swiss cheese slices – 4 to 6 slices
- Au jus or beef broth – 1 cup, warmed for dipping
- Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce (optional) – for serving
- Butter or olive oil – 1 to 2 tablespoons for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Start by slicing your roast beef thinly if it isn’t pre-sliced. Then, lay out a tortilla and evenly layer generous slices of beef along the center, followed by a slice or two of cheese to help everything melt together deliciously.
- Roll and Secure: Carefully roll the tortilla up tightly from one edge to the other, making sure the filling stays neatly inside. For extra hold, you can secure the roll ups with toothpicks.
- Crisp and Melt: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil. Place the roll ups seam side down and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, turning occasionally to crisp all sides evenly.
- Warm the Au Jus: While the roll ups cook, warm your au jus or beef broth in a small saucepan or microwave. Serve it piping hot as the perfect dipping sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate your French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups alongside a small bowl of au jus for dipping. Feel free to add mustard or horseradish on the side for extra flavor!
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef to make rolling easier and ensure tender bites.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent tearing and messiness.
- Seal the edges of the roll ups well to keep fillings inside during cooking and dipping.
- For best results, use a cast iron skillet for even heat and a crispy exterior.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the roll ups warm and fresh from the skillet.
