Cajun Roast Beef Pinwheel Rolls (Printable Version)
Sliced tortilla rolls with roast beef, creamy cheese, Cajun spice, and colorful vegetables. Easy, crowd-pleasing bites.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
02 - 8 ounces thinly sliced roast beef
03 - 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
05 - 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
06 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
07 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
08 - 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
09 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
→ Garnish
10 - Fresh parsley, chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, and Dijon mustard until mixture is smooth and uniform.
02 - Arrange the flour tortillas on a clean cutting board. Evenly spread one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
03 - Distribute spinach leaves, roast beef slices, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions evenly across each tortilla.
04 - Starting from one end, tightly roll up each tortilla to secure the fillings, placing seam side down once rolled.
05 - Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to firm for cleaner slicing. (Optional but recommended.)
06 - Remove plastic wrap. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice each roll into six even pinwheels. Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter.
07 - Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over pinwheels prior to serving, if desired.
