Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread 1 tablespoon of salad dressing on each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Top each tortilla with a torn lettuce leaf, half of the roast beef, Swiss cheese slices, and diced red onion.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a flavored tortilla, such as spinach or sun-dried tomato. If you're short on time, pre-sliced deli meats can be substituted with leftover roast beef or any other cooked meat on hand. Swap out Swiss cheese for provolone or cheddar for a different taste. Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers or cucumbers for a crunchier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll-ups a few hours in advance. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep them fresh. However, it's best to add the lettuce just before serving to prevent it from wilting.
What can I use instead of Ranch dressing?
If you prefer a different flavor profile, try using hummus, cream cheese, or a vinaigrette dressing as a spread. Each will give a unique twist to the roll-ups while still complementing the roast beef and cheese.
Can I freeze these roll-ups?
Freezing is not recommended for these roll-ups, as the tortillas may become soggy upon thawing. However, you can freeze the individual ingredients, like slices of roast beef and cheese, and assemble the roll-ups fresh whenever you're ready to enjoy them.
