Ingredients
Here are the most important ingredients you'll need to make a basic roast beef wrap. Just add toppings!
- Roast beef: Try making your roast beef tortilla wraps with leftover roast beef or store-bought deli roast beef. It comes down to your preference!
- Cream cheese: I like to spread a layer of cream cheese on the tortilla. It adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor to the wrap. You can skip it, but I also find it acts as a good barrier for some of the toppings, like lettuce and tomato, to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy.
- Honey mustard mayonnaise: I make this delicious honey mustard mayo for this wrap. It's a little sweet, tangy, and rich. You can even have extra on the side for dipping!

Variations
- Italian: Use an Italian seasoned roast beef, provolone cheese slices, and roasted red peppers for Italian flair.
- Extra spicy: Make this tortilla beef wrap super spicy by using your favorite spicy pepper (pickled jalapenos or banana peppers, etc) and a spicy sauce like horseradish aioli.
- Club: Add other meats like deli ham and turkey to make this into a club wrap. It's one of my favorite wrap ideas.
How to Make a Roast Beef Wrap
These are the steps needed to make your roast beef tortilla wraps. It's so easy!
Step 1: Spread the cream cheese. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on your tortilla.
Step 2: Make the honey mustard mayo. Then, combine the ingredients for the sauce and whisk them until they are well combined.
Step 3: Drizzle it on the tortilla. Next, drizzle it over the cream cheese on the tortilla.
Step 4: Layer your ingredients. Now you can layer the onions, lettuce, and roast beef.
Step 5: Fold it. Fold in the ends of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly.
Step 6: Slice and serve. Slice the wrap in half and enjoy it with some sweet potato fries.
Recipe Tips
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Try not to add too much extra to your roast beef wraps. The extra filling will make it difficult to fold them closed.
- Warm the tortilla slightly: I like to pop my tortillas into the microwave for about 10 seconds to make them more pliable. This prevents them from ripping.
- Avoid ingredients with excess moisture: If you would like to add pickles, tomatoes, or other produce that hold a lot of moisture, pat them dry if you can. Otherwise, be strategic with how you layer them or avoid them.
- Storing: You may store the wraps in the fridge for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing them as the toppings don't thaw well.

Serving Suggestions

- I love a good salad as a side dish, too. Try this creamy cucumber salad, or even a simple garden salad would be great.
- A warm soup like this Thai carrot soup would be great, too. You can even dip your wrap in it!
- If you need additional topping ideas, try honey hot sauce and horseradish pickles!
