Mom's Beef Roll-Ups are a family favorite, passed down through generations. The recipe is simple but delicious, and can be customized to suit individual tastes. The cream cheese spread is flavored with garden vegetables, giving it a fresh and tangy taste. The dried beef adds a salty crunch, while the romaine lettuce provides a crisp and refreshing contrast. These Beef Roll-Ups are perfect for a quick lunch or an easy dinner, and can be served with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a more complete meal. They are also great for parties or potlucks, as they can be made ahead of time and sliced just before serving.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the garden vegetable cream cheese spread, minced pickle, and minced onion until well mixed.
2.	Spread an even layer of the mixture onto one side of each tortilla.
3.	Place a large piece of romaine lettuce on top of the cheese mixture on each tortilla.
4.	Put a piece of dried beef on top of the lettuce.
5.	Tightly roll up each tortilla, making sure all ingredients stay inside.
6.	Chill the roll-ups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

PROS

These beef roll-ups are quick and easy to prepare, making them a great option for a busy weeknight dinner.

They are packed full of flavor and have a unique texture thanks to the combination of soft cream cheese and crunchy dried beef.

CONS

Dried beef is high in sodium, which can be a concern for those watching their salt intake.

The use of garden vegetable cream cheese spread may not be to everyone’s liking, as some people prefer plain cream cheese or a different flavor.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these beef roll-ups are not particularly healthy, they do provide a source of protein from the beef and some vitamins and minerals from the romaine lettuce.
In moderation, cream cheese can be part of a healthy diet, as it provides calcium and other important nutrients.
