Tips for Best Results

• Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
• Roll the tortillas as tightly as possible.
• Soften the cream cheese at room temperature first.
• Pat the roast beef dry before layering it.
• Add more horseradish for an extra spicy kick.
• Chill the rolls before slicing if serving cold.
• Use large burrito-sized tortillas for easier rolling.
• Keep the au jus hot for the best flavor.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap provolone for smoked gouda or swiss.
• Use roast turkey for a lighter version.
• Add diced green chiles for some heat.
• Try spinach tortillas for a pop of color.
• Sprinkle some dried parsley on top before serving.

Common Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can roll them a day early. Keep them wrapped tightly in the fridge. Slice them just before you plan to serve. This keeps the edges looking fresh and sharp.

What if I don’t like horseradish?

You can easily leave the horseradish out. Try adding a little Dijon mustard instead. It still gives a nice savory depth. Customize the spread to fit your own taste.

How do I keep the tortillas from unrolling?

The cream cheese acts like a glue. Make sure you spread it to the edges. Press down firmly as you roll them up. Chilling them helps the shape hold better.

You are going to love how easy these are. Go grab the ingredients and start rolling!
