French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups
Easy summer recipes – that’s all I’m allowing in my life lately. I’m trying really hard right now to make sure I have a home cooked dinner on the table most nights. Sometimes that means hot dogs, sometimes that means BLTs. And lately, that has also meant French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups.
I found a recipe for roll ups in an old cookbook quite some time ago (so long ago that I don’t even remember where I saw it). Since then, I have been trying all kinds of different tortilla roll up recipes, looking for the perfect filling. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I found it with these French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups. They may not look like much, but they sure do pack some flavor. And any dinner that is under 30 minutes is a summer winner for me!

Ingredients
Tortillas: You want a large tortilla (look for the burrito sized tortillas). I have only tried this with regular flour tortillas.
Cheese: I like provolone, but you could also sub in swiss, mozzarella, or another cheese of your choice.
Roast Beef: You could get the roast beef that comes already pre-sliced, but I like to get it freshly sliced from the deli.
French Fried Onions: These are the onions that come in a container at the grocery store – the same ones you would put on top of a green bean casserole. They are usually located near the canned vegetables.
Olive Oil: You will use the oil to seal the tortillas, and you’ll also brush it over the outsides of the tortilla to help it crisp up. I always use olive oil, but another neutral oil will work.
Beef Consomme: You should be able to find this in the soup aisle. Beef consomme has a deeper, richer flavor than beef broth. If you can’t find it, you can substitute in beef broth, but it’s not quite as good in my opinion.
Worcestershire Sauce and Soy Sauce: This is for flavoring the au jus. I think the combination of flavors is perfect!
Onion Powder & Garlic Powder: This is also for flavor.

Tips for making French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups:
These are pretty simple to make, but I do have a few tips for you to make sure they come out perfectly.
- Use a large tortilla. Don’t try to stuff all of this in a smaller tortilla.
- If the tortillas are not super fresh, warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds before assembling the tortilla roll ups so that the tortillas are pliable.
- I can only find provolone cheese pre-sliced where I live. So to distribute the cheese evenly, you’ll need to tear it into pieces. If you can find it in a block and shred it, that would be easier, but tearing the slices works just fine!
- You want the thinnest sliced roast beef that you can get. I just have the deli counter slice it on the smallest setting. If the slices are too thick, it’s hard to roll the tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas the tightest you can for the best results.
- Don’t skip the au jus! Not only is that what gives these tortilla roll ups the flavors of a French dip sandwich, but it makes it so much more fun to eat!

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! Some readers have said that they like it with more cheese. Just be careful to not fill your tortilla so much that you won’t be able to wrap it tightly closed.
That would be delicious! It would for sure take you out of your 30 minute recipe time, but I think it would taste great!
Technically you could make the roll ups and refrigerate them, and then bake them just before serving, but the onions will get soggier than if you made them fresh. So you could, but for best results, they are best made, baked, and eaten.

Description
Fast and easy – these French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups have all the flavors of a French Dip Sandwich, but rolled up into a tortilla instead! These are perfect for those weeknight dinners when you need to get something tasty on the table quickly.
Ingredients
- 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
- 4 slices Provolone cheese (about 5 ounces)
- 1/2 lb deli sliced roast beef
- 3/4 cup French fried onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef consomme
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Lay the 4 tortillas on a counter or work surface. Tear the provolone up into smaller pieces and distribute evenly over each of the 4 tortillas. Place the deli roast beef evenly over the cheese, then sprinkle the French fried onions over the roast beef.
- Working with one tortilla at a time, fold the sides of the tortillas in, then tightly roll the tortilla into a roll. Brush a little bit of the olive oil on the edge of the tortilla to help it stick closed, and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Brush the remaining olive oil over the tops of the roll ups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the roll ups are browned, about 10 minutes.
- While the roll ups are baking, combine the beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until warmed through.
- To serve, cut the roll ups in half and serve with the warm sauce for dipping.

Absolutely awesome! My husband loves it so it is a staple at my house.
★★★★★
Holly says
Huge hit in our household! We love French dip but hate all the bread that fills us up. This was such a great change! The flavors were on point. We will be pointing this in our rotation of meals. Thank you for sharing!
★★★★★
Soni says
This looks delicious.Can you tell me as I am not sure I can get fried French onion.could I replace it.skip the onion and garlic powder and use dried French onion soup..many thanks Soni
Deborah says
Hi – is the dried french onion soup a powder? I’m sure you could use it, but it won’t be quite the same. The french fried onions add texture and flavor. The powder will probably still taste good, but it will be different. You could also always add some sauteed onions!
Soni says
Thanks Deborah,yes it is powder and dried onions..I use it in puff pastry pinwheels with grated cheese. If I have no luck finding the crispy french fried, I will give it a try.
Suzanne D Reber says
This recipe has inspired me to try using a Philly Cheese steak play on it….a little bit more work, but I think that it’ll be worth it!!
Deborah says
That sounds delicious!
Bryn says
These were such a delicious surprise. Thank you for such a fun recipe
★★★★★

★★★★★

★★★★★

Whole family digs it. Fast & simple. I use a packet of Au Jus sauce when I can’t find the consommé
★★★★★
Deborah says
Glad you all love it! And such a great idea to use the au jus sauce!
Brianne says
This is SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! The Au Jus is to die for! I’m going to be keeping a supply of beef consommé in my pantry from now on!
★★★★★
Bree says
my husband would love this! just curious as to what everyone served with it?
Paula says
Personally I would serve a nice loaded salad!
Angie says
This recipe is great! Quick and easy weeknight meal. My only suggestion would be to turn the rollups halfway through cooking. Mine were burnt underneath.
★★★★★
sarah says
Loved this super simple recipe! Only thing I would do different next time would be more roast beef. Kids loved it! Thanks!
Janell Doyle says
Just made these tonight after seeing them in your email. We all loved them and will be making again!!
Deborah says
Yay! I’m so glad you loved them!
Mary says
I thought this was good, though my picky husband and son weren’t fans. That’s always a bummer for me-when I find a recipe that’s quick and easy and that I find tasty and then my family doesn’t like it.
★★★★★
Nicole says
With it going to be over a 100 this week – I was wondering if I can put in the air fryer to avoid heating up the kitchen?
Deborah says
I haven’t tried them in the air fryer, but I would guess that it would work!
Mary says
We love this recipe. I have been making for a couple years. But I am curious how they turned out in the air fryer? My oven has recently been giving me a problem and I bought the ingredients the other day forgetting about my oven so I was going to try the air fryer.
Carolyn Marshall says
These sound Delicious but what are French Fried Onions?
Deborah says
They are the onions that come in a container that are usually on top of green bean casserole. You can usually find them in the vegetable aisle at the grocery store.
Pam T. says
My family loved these! They were easy to prepare and super tasty! Loved the crunchiness of the wrap out of the oven.
Chellie Bankston says
This was great and the whole family loved it!
Angie says
This was so easy yet filling! I replaced the provolone with shredded mozzarella/ cheddar mix and we added sautéed mushrooms. It was unbelievably delicious!
★★★★★
Bridget says
Just made this for my family. They loved it! Quick and easy good for a weeknight meal. I couldn’t find beef consommé so I reduced a can of beef broth. So good!!
Sue Murray says
We love these wraps! So easy and so very good!
★★★★★
susan says
could i saute up some onions and use them instead? would it be just as tasty. you think?
Deborah says
You definitely could – it would be different, but I’m guessing still delicious!
Diane says
This is a great recipe, they loved it. I am making it again 😊
★★★★★
Pat says
Really did not think they were anything special.
Amy Bannister says
I love this recipe, made a slight change, though. I use it to finish off my left over pot roast! Works very well!
Sophia W. says
This was totally delish! My only comment is that I would put the fried onions on top of the cheese (instead on top of the RB) because too many fell out when we dipped. I think the melted cheese would hold them down better.
★★★
B.Scott says
What can I substitute for the French fried onions can I use caramelized onions
Patti says
So good! My family loved it. I did roast my own meat and I do suggest adding more cheese and the onions. I will make this again
★★★★★
Lauren says
This was delish!! A big hit with the hubs. I laid down a thin layer of chive and onion cream cheese before putting the cheese, roast beef, and onions down. Turned out amazing! Definitely adding this to the rotation of favorite quick and easy meals!
★★★★★
Patti p says
This was delicious. All the picky eaters loved it. I did roast my own meat and i think it tasted better than deli beef plus we all agreed another slice of cheese would have made it a bit better. I will definitely make this again
★★★★★
Sylvie says
Très très bon à refaire!!!!
Dolly .S. says
Easy, quick, and tasty! My husband said it’s a keeper!
Christie Rusk says
This is a great recipe. Easy but lots of flavor. My kid’s thought they were from Panera:)
★★★★★
Cindy Vandamme says
Great recipe. Next time I think it needs more cheese, meat and onions.
★★★★
Jennie says
This looks so delicious! Have you ever tried the Au Jus that you can buy in a packet? I’ve used it in recipes, but never as gravy, but I wonder if it would give the flavor you’re looking for, or at least be a good substitute if consomme is hard to find. The pic looked like caramelized onions, but the crispy ones would be even better. I bet these could be prepped ahead, frozen, and baked from frozen, too.
Sara says
I love a good French dip sandwich. This is a little different, as a wrap, but it sure is good! As I get older, I look for recipes that are simple to put together but still taste good. This recipe does both. Thank you!
★★★★★
Marie says
Just made this tonight! So simple and quick! I didn’t have provolone (long story…I did actually but some), so used a Tex Mex blend and it still tasted great! Adding this to my weeknight rotation! Thank you!
★★★★★
Fran says
I made these for our church Wednesday Night dinner. With the first bite, I got a thumbs-up from almost everyone around the table. It is a keeper for me and will also be served at home with family and guests alike. So simple and so yummy!
★★★★★
Deborah says
That makes me so happy! I’m so glad they all loved the recipe!
Andrea says
Just made these dinner. I used a can of French onion soup instead of the beef broth (and just added the Worcestershire and soy sauces). They were very good, and family agreed that I should make them again.
★★★★★
Judy says
These were awesome and not hard to make. I made them with soudough tortillas, shaved roast beef, provolone and some with swiss cheese. Also, I used a package of McCormic au jus for dipping. De-lish!!!
★★★★★
patricia says
Can these be be made ahead ,then baked a few hours later for a large party?
Patricia
Deborah says
I haven’t tried making them ahead, but I would guess that if you did them just a few hours in advance they should be fine. I’d probably test it first just to make sure, though.
Tania says
Wow, these were so good! Easy & delicious! My entire family gave thumbs up!
Deborah says
I’m so glad they were a hit!
ashley says
just made these for dinner (literally kids still eating). I am always wary feeding new foods to my family as they are all picky. Kids loved these! Hubby said he preferred them over traditional beef dip! And I love how quick and easy they are!
★★★★★
Deborah says
Yay! I’m so glad they were a hit!
Nickie R0ad says
Wonderful! Will definitely made again.
Deborah says
Thanks, Nickie – I’m glad you liked them!
lemniskate says
I never come back and comment, but man, I had to. I made these last night and they were SO GOOD. So, so, so good. I ran out of provolone at the end and made a couple of beef ‘n cheddar, and now I think some variety of these are going to be a staple for us, I love them so much! Simple, and flexible and DELICIOUS.
Deborah says
I love the idea of the beef and cheddar – I bet my husband would love that, too!
Cathy says
Easy and tasty. Definite keeper. Thanks!
★★★★★
Deborah says
I’m so glad you liked them!
GH says
I love, love, love a good French dip…going to try these on the low carb wraps I have found @ Sams Club!!
Mindy says
Finally! A recipe that is super simple and everybody likes!! I make a low carb version for myself that ends up being less than 9 carbs per roll!
★★★★★
Deborah says
Yay! I love it when you find one that everyone loves!
Linde Cogswell says
Can you make these and then wrap and freeze them to have for lunches? Then I could make a bunch to have for work lunches for my husband and myself.
Deborah says
I’m sure they’d be great for a day, maybe two, but they might start getting soggy after that. But it’s definitely worth a try!
Melba says
I can’t wait to try these. Could you use sauteed onions?
Deborah says
Of course!!
E morg says
If your deli counter sliced provolone cheese to order, you could buy a chunk of it to grate for the roll ups… b
Deborah says
That is such a great idea!
Ben Myhre says
These look really good… and so simple. I am going to make these.
