Ingredients
For the Rollups:
4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or spinach tortillas work too)
8 oz sliced roast beef (or more if you’re feeling extra)
1/4 cup cream cheese (or softened)
2 tbsp prepared horseradish sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, but adds a zing)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce (for crunch)
1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional, for extra flavor)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese (optional for added richness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by laying your tortillas flat on a clean surface. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, horseradish sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Spread the Cream Cheese Mixture
Spread a thin, even layer of the creamy horseradish mixture over each tortilla. Be sure to cover the whole surface — this will be the glue that holds everything together.
Step 3: Layer the Roast Beef
Place the slices of roast beef on top of the cream cheese mixture. You want to cover the tortilla in a nice even layer, but don’t overload it — a little goes a long way.
Step 4: Add the Veggies
Top the roast beef with shredded lettuce, sliced onions (if using), and cheese. You can also toss in some sliced tomatoes, cucumber, or even bell peppers if you’re feeling fancy.
Step 5: Roll and Slice
Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly, making sure the filling stays inside. Once you’ve rolled it up, slice it into 1-inch wide pieces to create bite-sized rollups.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Place the rollups on a serving plate and dig in! These are great served with a side of dipping sauce, like ranch or spicy mustard, if you’re feeling adventurous.
Notes
Spicy: Add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the rollups for a little kick.
Herb It Up: Try spreading a thin layer of pesto instead of the horseradish sauce for an Italian twist.
Swap the Meat: Use turkey, ham, or even grilled chicken for a different flavor profile.
Go Veggie: Ditch the meat entirely and use roasted veggies or hummus for a vegetarian version.
