Everyone needs a delicious protein-packed tortilla roll-ups recipe! Why? They are ridiculously delicious and my easy recipe is one step better because it's loaded with fresh mouthwatering roast beef. Ready in minutes, these tasty treats are perfect for so many occasions, from an after school snack to feed a hungry crowd at a family party.

This post is sponsored by the New York Beef Council.  As always, all opinions are my own and thank you for supporting the brands that keep me creating.

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. 

How To Make Roast Beef Tortilla Rollups

step by step tutorial on making a roast beef tortilla rollups

  1. Blend the cream cheese with chopped green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Layout the tortillas and spread the whipped cheese on the tortillas.
  3. Place the roast beef on the cheese layer. 
  4. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
  5. Add some baby spinach. 
  6. Roll up the tortillas. 
  7. Slice and serve. 

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.

Juicy Lucy Burgers, cheese and burgers, there is nothing better. Instant Pot French Dips, if you haven't made these amazing sammies, you must, aah-mazing!

    Ok I just added horseradish to my grocery list a few seconds before even seeing this recipe. These rolls are such a pretty dish to have on your plate. Looking forward to the adult version of the cream cheese spread.
