These Roast Beef Roll Ups with Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese make the perfect appetizer and would be great for a lunch idea or meal on the go.
I use to work at a bakery and cafe and we always served the roast beef sandwiches with an herbed cream cheese spread, they pair so well together. So, I decided to make it in a roll up and the results are fantastic! Roll ups are great for on the go and make the best appetizers.

Roast Beef Roll Ups with Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese
The key to this recipe is to let your cream cheese soften. I used the larger burrito size tortillas but you could use the flavored wraps if you wanted. I used two pieces of roast beef lunch meat per tortilla.
The center of the pinwheel is the hardest to keep tight. Start by rolling the tortilla into itself and the continue rolling until finished. Cut the ends off and don’t include them on the display plate. In fact I normally eat those while I am cutting the others… shh don’t tell!
When I know I am going to serve these right away and I am making them for a lunch I often add lettuce. But the lettuce can sometimes get soggy so add with caution.

Have you ever done a combo of deli ham and garlic herb boursin cheese? I’m going to try this on thin slices of white bread, but I wonder if it doesn’t need just a little something extra??
Is the Italian Seasoning, the green herb stuff or the dry dressing mix?
Good question! It is the herb mix not the dressing mix!
I wonder what borsin cheese would like as the spread?
I love Boursin Cheese so I think it would be tasty!
That’s what I plan on using when I make these this weekend! It’s so delicious!!
Me too!
Sounds good, but I can’t judge until I’ve actually made them…can I? Nana’s suggestions sound good too…guess we’ll have to host a party soon! Thanks for the ideas…
I hope you try them soon!
And yet you felt the need to make such a helpful comment…..i tried them. They are delicious. I made two batches, one with regular flour tortillas and one with almond tortillas for celiacs. Both came out wonderfully.
Adding a packet of dry ranch dressing mix to the cream cheese gives a great flavor. I add shredded swiss cheese in the rollup as well. Many variations are all tasty. Ham and cheddar cheese pairs up well. Pepperoni and mozzarella is a favorite. It is important to spread the cream cheese all the way to the edge of the tortilla as this is the glue that seals it. After I roll tightly I wrap in plastic wrap and chill till serving time and then slice in inch wide slices.
The Veggie Tortilla ones do have a ranch packet. All your ideas sound great!
Thanks for the tips Nana. I want to do something simple but special for my crew to let them know that I appreciate all that they do. So I’m going to do the roast beef with garlic herb cheese spread, turkey & swiss, then I’ll do ham & cheddar. That way everyone should be happy.
