Roast Beef Wrap with Horseradish Slaw
1/4 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 cup coleslaw mix
2 10 inch tortillas
2 cups spinach leaves
6 ounces sliced roast beef
4 ounces sliced deli cheddar cheese
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and horseradish. Fold in the coleslaw mix. Dividing evenly, top two tortillas with spinach, roast beef, and cheddar. Roll up tightly, folding in the sides.
Wrap and refrigerate for up to one day. Makes two tortillas.
This is tasty and fast! A little spicy for the kids, but Jensen picked the meat and cheese out of it! Great side to a soup!
