  • 4 large flour tortillas (about 10 inches)
  • 2 cups spinach leaves (about 20 leaves)
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained

Instructions

Spread cheese evenly over one side of each tortilla.

Place deli roast beef over cheese leaving 1/2-inch border around edges.

Place spinach leaves over beef.

Arrange peppers down center, over spinach.

To serve, cut each roll crosswise into 8 slices. Arrange cut side up on serving platter.

Suggestions

Try flavored deli meat (such as Cajun roast beef) or flavored cream cheese to spice things up!

Tips from Our Cook

Red peppers must be rinsed and dried to prevent soggy tortillas. Be sure to wrap tightly to prevent tortilla from drying out. Slice as close to serving time as possible - cover with plastic wrap.
