Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Quarter lavash and spread 1 side of each quarter evenly with 1 tablespoon chutney, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. On each quarter arrange about 1‚ slices roast beef in one layer over chutney and season with salt and pepper.

Tightly roll up each lavash around filling into a cone and wrap individually in wax paper and plastic wrap. Sandwiches may be made 6 hours ahead and chilled, wrapped in plastic wrap.
