Instructions

Prepare the filling

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the cream cheese is well softened to avoid lumps.

Spread the mixture

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge.

Pro tip: Use a spatula for even spreading.

Add the beef

Layer slices of roast beef evenly over the cream cheese mixture.

Pro tip: Use thin slices of beef for easier rolling.

Sprinkle with chives

Sprinkle chopped chives evenly over the roast beef.

Pro tip: Chives add a fresh flavour and bright colour.

Roll tightly

Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly to form a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Pro tip: Chill the rolled tortillas for cleaner slicing.

Chill and slice

Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Once chilled, slice each roll into 4 cm (1.5 inch) pieces and serve.

Pro tip: Use a serrated knife for neat slices.
