Roast Beef Horseradish Roll-Ups

2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese,
softened
3 ½ Tbsp. prepared
horseradish
3 Tbsp. Dijon-style
mustard
12 (12 inch)
flour tortillas
30 spinach leaves,
washed with stems
removed
1 ½ pounds thinly
sliced cooked deli
roast beef
8 ounces shredded
Cheddar cheese

Beat the cream cheese, horseradish, and mustard together in a bowl until well blended.

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla. Arrange spinach leaves evenly over the tortillas. Place two slices of roast beef over the cream cheese. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, dividing evenly between tortillas. Starting at one end, gently roll up each tortilla into a tight tube. Wrap with aluminum foil or plastic wrap to keep the rolls tight. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

To serve, unwrap and slice into 2 or 3 pieces. Only cut the rolls you will be using that day so the others do not dry out. To serve for parties, unwrap and slice the rolls diagonally into one-inch sections, and arrange on a serving platter.
