Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 slices ham
- 2 slices cheese
- 4 tortillas (medium size)
Binding/Spreading Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
Seasonings/Garnish:
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh chives (chopped)
Instructions
- Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, black pepper, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl until smooth and well-incorporated, creating a creamy spread with robust flavor profiles.
- Warm tortillas for 10-15 seconds in microwave to enhance pliability and prevent cracking during rolling process.
- Lay each tortilla flat on clean work surface and spread prepared cream cheese mixture evenly across entire surface, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
- Arrange ham slices strategically over cream cheese layer, slightly overlapping to create uniform coverage across tortilla.
- Place cheese slice centrally on ham, positioning to maximize filling potential within roll-up.
- Carefully roll tortilla tightly from one edge to opposite side, applying gentle pressure to maintain compact structure without tearing.
- Slice each rolled tortilla diagonally into bite-sized sections, creating clean, precise cross-sections approximately 1-inch thick.
- Garnish prepared roll-ups with freshly chopped chives, sprinkling delicately across surface for added visual appeal and herbaceous notes.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow filling to set and enhance overall flavor melding before serving chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Swap out mayo for Greek yogurt to create a lighter, protein-packed spread that reduces calories and adds tangy flavor.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe completely celiac-friendly and accommodating for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with different protein options like turkey, roast beef, or smoked salmon to provide variety and cater to different taste preferences.
- Chill roll-ups for maximum structural integrity, ensuring clean cuts and preventing filling from oozing during slicing and serving.
