Ingredients

For the roll-ups

• 6 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
• 1 cup sliced deli ham
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach (or any leafy green)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)

For the topping

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.

• Spread a thin layer of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla. If desired, add a touch of Dijon mustard for a zesty flair.

• Lay two to three slices of ham on top of the cream cheese, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese and some chopped spinach.

🌱 Feel free to add sliced bell peppers, onions, or even pickles for an extra kick of flavor!

• Roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one end, and place them seam-side down in the greased baking dish.

• In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic powder until well combined.

• Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas for a crunchy topping.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

🔥 Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to prevent burning. If they’re browning too quickly, you can cover them with foil.

• Once baked, let them sit for a few minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Variations

• Vegetarian: Skip the ham and use a variety of roasted vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or peppers for a savory roll-up.
• Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling for a fiery twist! 🔥
• Cheesy: Incorporate different cheeses such as pepper jack for heat or brie for creaminess.
• Tailgating Treat: Serve with a side of mustard or your favorite dipping sauce for a fun appetizer during game days!
