Delightful spirals filled with savory ham and melty cheese, perfect for cozy dinners and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla The canvas for our delicious filling.
- 6 slices deli ham Use your favorite kind; smoked ham adds depth of flavor.
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar is classic, but Monterey Jack or Swiss create a lovely twist.
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese Softened to help hold everything together; ranch-flavored can add an extra zing.
Optional Garnish
- fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) For garnish and a burst of color.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla.
- Layer the slices of ham evenly across the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the ham, ensuring every corner is covered.
- Starting from one side, carefully roll the tortilla tightly.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch sections.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the tortillas turn golden brown.
- Allow them to cool for a minute before serving.
Notes
Consider using whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option or low-sodium ham. Experiment with spreads like pesto or hummus for a flavorful twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; they freeze well too!
