Cajun Roast Beef Pinwheel Rolls (Print View)

Cajun-spiced roast beef and cheese mingle with veggies in soft tortillas for a flavorful bite-sized appetizer.

# Components:

→ 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 (optional)

10 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly until smooth.
02 - Arrange the flour tortillas on a clean cutting board. Evenly divide and spread the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, keeping a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
03 - Distribute the spinach leaves, roast beef slices, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions across the surface of each tortilla.
04 - Tightly roll each tortilla from one end, ensuring the fillings stay evenly distributed. Position seam-side down to maintain shape.
05 - Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to facilitate easier slicing. This step is optional but encouraged.
06 - Unwrap and use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6 equally sized pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and finish with chopped parsley if desired.
