Step-by-step instructions
Let’s get rolling! Here’s how you prepare these delightful roll-ups:
- Start by laying out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface.
- Evenly distribute the deli roast beef slices on each tortilla; don’t skimp—these are the stars of the show!
- Next, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese over the beef.
- Tightly roll each tortilla, ensuring the filling stays in place for hassle-free serving.
- Finally, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve them with au jus for a perfect dipping experience, if desired.
Best ways to enjoy it
These French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are delightful on their own, but you can take your serving game up a notch! Serve them on a beautiful platter alongside a bowl of hot au jus for dipping. Add some crunchy veggies or a fresh salad on the side for a little extra color and crunch. A light, dill pickle garnish adds a zesty touch that complements the rich flavors beautifully.
How to store
If you have leftovers (although that’s rare!), don’t worry about them going to waste. To keep your roll-ups fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’re planning to enjoy them later, these roll-ups can also be frozen! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-friendly bag. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave.
Helpful cooking tips
To elevate your French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups:
- Make sure to evenly layer the ingredients; this helps each bite pack in the flavor.
- For extra flair, consider toasting the roll-ups in a skillet for a crispy texture and a golden finish.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, experiment with adding sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for added depth.
Creative twists
The beauty of these roll-ups lies in their adaptability. Here are a few variations to try:
- BBQ Style: Swap the au jus for BBQ sauce, and use shredded BBQ beef instead of deli roast beef.
- Vegetarian Version: Use grilled vegetables and sautéed mushrooms with cheese for a meat-free delight.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese if you’re craving some heat.
