Ingredients
- 2 pounds roast beef, trimmed
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a small bowl, mix together horseradish, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the roast beef.
- Roast the Beef: Place the seasoned roast beef in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place a few slices of roast beef on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
