# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 2 cups low-sodium beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, and a pinch of black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and keep warm. This forms the delicious dipping sauce for your High-Protein French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups.
02 -
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup light cream cheese, softened, 1 tbsp prepared horseradish, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Stir in the sautéed onions, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
03 -
Lay out 4 large (8-10 inch) high-protein or whole wheat tortillas. Evenly spread the creamy horseradish mixture over each tortilla. Layer 1 lb thinly sliced lean deli roast beef and 4 slices provolone cheese over the spread. Roll each tortilla up tightly from one end to the other.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tortilla roll-ups seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. This step helps create a crispy exterior for your High-Protein French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups.
05 -
Carefully transfer the seared roll-ups to the simmering au jus in the saucepan. Let them warm through for about 1 minute, allowing them to absorb some of the flavorful broth. This infuses every bite of your High-Protein French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups with classic French dip taste.
06 -
Remove the roll-ups from the au jus. Slice each roll-up in half or into 1-inch thick pinwheels, if desired. Serve immediately with the remaining warm au jus for dipping. Enjoy your quick and satisfying High-Protein French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the tortillas with olive oil before searing.
02 -
Leftover au jus can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
03 -
Feel free to swap provolone for Swiss or mozzarella cheese. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the creamy spread.
04 -
These roll-ups are fantastic on their own, but also pair well with a simple green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
