Roast Beef Tortilla Rollups are a favorite of mine. So versatile, I make these for the family parties, beach days, east lunch, tailgating, I could go on and on.
My new favorite is bringing a couple of trays of these roast beef rollups to our lacrosse tourneys. They are perfect for the girls to snack on in between games. We bring a tray for the parents too, we need to stay fortified and these definitely hit the spot.
Whether I need to get a quick lunch for my girls before practice or feed the team at a tournament, these roast beef rollups deliver flavor. I use the deli-sliced roast beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and whipped cream cheese that I add a little extra to for flavoring.
For the parents, a little horseradish goes into the whipped cream cheese. The kid’s rollups I season with green onion and Italian Seasonings.

Benefits of Beef
I choose roast beef for these rollups because I appreciate the benefits beef adds to my family’s diet. The NY Beef Council has a wonderful website with lots of great nutritional information, recipes, and an all-around great source for information on beef. 3 ounces serving of beef provides 25 grams of protein, which is half of your daily protein.
Roast Beef Tortilla Rollup FAQs
What type of tortillas do I use to make rollups?
Use your family’s favorites. This is where you can vary the tortillas. Use gluten-free, spinach, sun-dried tomato, or whole wheat. I usually make a few different ones so everyone is happy.
How long do tortilla rollups last?
They are at their best flavor in the first 24 hours. Tortilla rollups will keep refrigerated up to 3 days.
Can I freeze these tortilla rollups?
The sandwich rolls can be frozen for up to two months. When they are made, slice them and place them on a baking tray in the freezer for about an hour. Then they can be placed in a freezer-safe bag for 2 months.
