Beef & Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich Wraps

 

1/2 cup herb-flavored spreadable cream cheese
3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
4 flour tortillas (10”)
4 green leaf lettuce leaves
1/2 cup chopped, roasted red peppers (canned)

 

Spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese on each tortilla. Place one fourth of the roast beef down the center. Top with 2 tablespoons chopped roasted red peppers and 1 lettuce leaf. Roll up tortilla, burrito-style by first folding in each end about 1-1/2”, then rolling up the rest of the tortilla snuggly around the filling. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
