4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
→ Finishing Touches & Seasoning
11 -
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
12 -
1/4 tsp salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced, and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside for later use in your roll-ups.
02 -
In the same skillet, combine 2 cups low-sodium beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This forms the flavorful base for your French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups | High-Protein Meal.
03 -
Add 1 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced, to the simmering au jus. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through. Do not overcook. Remove the beef from the au jus, allowing excess liquid to drip back into the pan. Keep the au jus warm.
04 -
Lay out 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch) on a clean surface. Distribute 8 slices provolone cheese evenly among the tortillas, then layer with the warmed roast beef and sautéed onions. This is the core of your French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups | High-Protein Meal.
05 -
Tightly roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides to create a compact wrap. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dry skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the provolone cheese is melted.
06 -
Slice each French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups | High-Protein Meal in half, if desired. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Serve immediately with the remaining warm au jus for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the tortillas with a little butter or olive oil before searing. This also helps achieve a deeper golden color.
02 -
Leftover roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to maintain crispness. Store au jus separately.
03 -
Feel free to substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the au jus.
04 -
These roll-ups are fantastic on their own, but also pair well with a simple green salad or a side of crispy potato wedges for a complete meal.
