Ingredients

Wraps

  • Flour Tortillas (soft and flexible) – quantity as needed

Fillings

  • Roast Beef Slices – about 4-6 slices per roll up
  • Cheese (Swiss or Provolone) – 1-2 slices per roll up
  • Horseradish Sauce or Dijon Mustard – 1-2 tablespoons per roll up

Dipping Sauce

  • Au Jus or Beef Broth – 1/2 cup warmed per serving

Optional

  • Fresh Herbs (Parsley or Chives) – for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and lay out your tortillas, roast beef slices, cheese, and sauces. Ensure tortillas are at room temperature for easy rolling.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay a tortilla flat, then layer roast beef slices followed by cheese. Spread a thin, even layer of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard on top to add tanginess.
  3. Roll It Up Tightly: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla around the fillings, pressing gently to keep the roll secure and prevent fillings from spilling out.
  4. Heat if Desired: If you prefer melted cheese, warm the roll ups briefly in a skillet or microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.
  5. Prepare the Au Jus Dip: Warm the au jus or beef broth in a small bowl to serve as a savory dipping sauce that mimics classic French dip flavors.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice roll ups into bite-sized pinwheels or serve whole, with the au jus on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Choose thinly sliced roast beef for easier rolling and better melting with cheese.
  • Do not overfill tortillas to avoid spillage during rolling.
  • Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable and less prone to tearing.
  • Use a sharp knife for clean slicing to keep roll ups neat and visually appealing.
  • Keep the au jus warm to enhance the dipping experience.
