Easy French Dip Pinwheels are a quick, flavorful snack featuring tender roast beef, melted Swiss cheese, and a hint of horseradish or Dijon mustard wrapped in soft tortillas. Served with warm au jus for dipping, these bite-sized pinwheels bring all the delicious comfort of a classic French dip sandwich in a convenient, shareable appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas (soft and pliable, enough for rolling)
  • Thinly sliced roast beef (generous layer per tortilla)
  • Swiss cheese slices (enough to cover tortillas evenly)
  • Horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard (thin, even spread)
  • Au jus or beef broth (warmed, for dipping)
  • Butter (for toasting pinwheels)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Lay out the flour tortillas and spread a thin, even layer of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard on each. This adds flavor and helps hold the layers together when rolled.
  2. Layer the Roast Beef and Cheese: Place a generous layer of thinly sliced roast beef over the sauce, then add Swiss cheese evenly on top, ensuring each bite has a perfect balance of savory meat and melty cheese.
  3. Roll and Chill: Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up the pinwheels, making them easier to slice evenly.
  4. Slice into Pinwheels: Remove from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 1-inch pinwheels, creating bite-sized pieces ready for toasting or serving cold.
  5. Toast for Warm, Golden Pinwheels: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the pinwheels on both sides until golden and the cheese starts to melt, adding a crispy exterior and enhanced flavor.
  6. Serve with Au Jus: Warm your au jus or beef broth and pour into small dipping bowls. Serve alongside the pinwheels to dip and enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose fresh tortillas for easier rolling and softer texture.
  • Do not overfill the tortillas to prevent cracking and make rolling easier.
  • Chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to keep their shape and enable clean cuts.
  • Toast pinwheels in butter for a flavorful, crispy exterior.
  • Use quality au jus—homemade or store-bought—for the best dipping experience.
