Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups—perfect for appetizers, lunch, or game-day snacks:
Ingredients (makes ~8 roll-ups)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz (225 g) thinly sliced roast beef
- 4 oz (115 g) Swiss or provolone cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp horseradish sauce (optional, for a kick)
- 1/4 cup caramelized onions or sautéed onions (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For dipping (Au jus):
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1. Prep the tortillas
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with horseradish (if using) and black pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla.
2. Layer fillings
- Place slices of roast beef evenly over each tortilla.
- Add cheese slices and caramelized onions, if using.
3. Roll and slice
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
- Slice each log into 2–3 inch pinwheels.
4. Bake (optional, for melted cheese)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until cheese melts and edges are slightly golden.
5. Prepare au jus for dipping
- In a small saucepan, heat beef broth and Worcestershire sauce until warm.
- Pour into small bowls for dipping.
6. Serve
- Arrange pinwheels on a platter and serve warm with au jus on the side.
Tips
- Make ahead: Assemble tortillas and refrigerate; bake right before serving.
- Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Cheese options: Swiss, provolone, or cheddar all work well.
I can also give a quick no-bake version that’s ready in under 10 minutes and still tastes like French dip.
Do you want me to give that version?
