Timing
These French Dip Tortilla Roll-Ups can be prepared in about 10 minutes and take an additional 5 minutes for assembly, making a total time of around 15 minutes!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will be the creamy spread for your roll-ups.
Step 2: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the prepared dipping sauce over the entire surface of the tortilla. Next, layer the sliced roast beef evenly over the sauce, followed by a handful of shredded cheese.
Step 3: Roll It Up
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is secured inside. Slice the roll-up in half diagonally for easier eating. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Step 4: Warm the Roll-Ups (Optional)
If you prefer warm roll-ups, heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes on each side to melt the cheese and create a crispy exterior.
Step 5: Serve with Dipping Sauce
Serve the French dip tortilla roll-ups warm with a small bowl of heated beef broth or au jus for dipping, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Storage & Prep Tips
Leftover roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The filling can also be made ahead of time and stored separately until you’re ready to assemble the wraps. Reheat leftovers in the microwave for best results, but expect the tortilla to be softer than when freshly made.
