Roast Beef & Horseradish Pinwheels 🥩🌶️🧀 Bold, Creamy, and Packed With Savory Heat and Deli-Style Flavor

These pinwheels are where tender roast beef meets zippy horseradish cream, melty cheese, and fresh greens — all rolled into soft tortillas. Think steakhouse vibes in a chilled, bite-sized form.

Ingredients (Makes ~20–24 pinwheels)

For the spread

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1–2 tbsp prepared horseradish (to taste)
• 1 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the filling

• 3 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 6–9 slices deli roast beef
• 6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
• Optional: baby arugula or spinach for bite and color

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the horseradish spread

• In a bowl, combine cream cheese, horseradish, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Adjust horseradish level to your heat preference.

Step 2: Layer it up

• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
• Add an even layer of roast beef slices, followed by cheese and greens (if using). Press gently to flatten.

Step 3: Roll and chill

• Roll each tortilla tightly into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4: Slice and serve

• Slice into ¾-inch pinwheels with a sharp or serrated knife. Arrange on a serving tray and serve chilled or at room temp.

Flavor Variations

• Add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for depth
• Use horseradish Dijon mustard for extra tang
• Swap provolone for blue cheese crumbles for funk
• Use spinach wraps or whole grain tortillas
• Add roasted red peppers for sweetness and color

Pro Tips

• Start with softened cream cheese for a smooth, easy spread
• Use quality roast beef — deli-fresh, thinly sliced is ideal
• Chill tightly wrapped rolls before slicing for clean edges
• Pat greens or peppers dry to avoid soggy spots

Final Thoughts

Roast Beef & Horseradish Pinwheels are creamy, beefy, and unapologetically bold — the kind of snack that delivers deli depth with minimal prep. They’re equally great on appetizer platters or tucked into lunchboxes for a savory surprise.

Spread it. Roll it. Let the horseradish kick in. 🥩🌶️🧀
