12 oz. Thinly sliced deli roast beef
1 pkg. (4 oz.) herb flavored cream cheese
4 large flour tortillas (about 10 inches)
2 cups spinach leaves (about 20 leaves)
1 jar (7 oz.) roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained.

• Spread cheese evenly over one side of each tortilla.
• Place deli roast beef over cheese, leaving ½ inch border around edges.

• Arrange peppers down center, over spinach.
• Roll up tightly, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to overnight before serving.
• To serve, cut each roll crosswise into 8 slices. Arrange cut side up on serving platter.

Tips from the chef:• 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 as possible- cover with plastic wrap.
• Use red & green tortillas to make them appear more festive!
