Combine: add roughly chopped roast beef, horseradish, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, gherkin pieces, diced onion, salt and pepper to a medium sized mixing bowl. Use a soup spoon to consistently combine.
Spread filling: working 1 at a time, place tortilla wrap onto chopping board. Dollop roast beef cheese mixture onto the wrap and use a butter knife to spread into 1 thick layer.
Roll: start at one edge of the tortilla and roll tightly into a long wrap. Wrap cling flim around filled tortilla and place in the fridge (optional).
Slice: after 30 mins, remove from the fridge, unravel plastic wrap, discard a slight empty piece from either end and cut into portions.
Serve immediately.

Note 1 Cream cheese: as the cream cheese mixture is thick and takes a bit of elbow grease to stir, I recommend using a short handled spoon over a long handled one. This will give you more control of the bowl slipping and sliding over the bench. It will also help if you leave it on the bench for a bit before you use it as it will come to room temperature.
Note 2 Butter knife: a non serrated butter knife is the easiest way to spread the filling over the tortillas. Use the tip and paint brush like strokes to spread the filling. Be gentle so you don't accidently put a hole in or tear the tortilla wraps.
Note 3 Tortilla wraps: these come in a wide array of colours and flavours. You can use one type be it white, wholegrain or spinach or use a combination. As you see in the photos, I have used a combination of whole grain and spinach flavours for variety.
Note 4 Roast beef: the roast beef will be sold in thin slices. You can then take kitchen scissors and chop these into rough pieces before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
Note 5 - Gherkins: these are the ingredient most likely to make the wraps soggy. So drain and use paper towel to individually dry before you chop them as it will ensure there is no excess moisture in the wraps. Moisture leads to soggy wraps!
