Ham and Cheese Rollups


  • Author: Rayne
  • Total Time: 25 minsutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large flour tortillas (use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option)
  • 8 slices of Halal-certified cooked turkey or chicken ham
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese like cheddar or Swiss)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh lettuce or spinach leaves (optional)
  • Olive oil or butter for pan-frying

Ingredient Highlights

  • Halal Ham: The ham in this recipe is made from Halal-certified turkey or chicken, ensuring that it’s pork-free and suitable for all dietary needs.
  • Shredded Cheese: Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese melts beautifully, creating a gooey and cheesy filling that is perfect for these rollups.
  • Flour Tortillas: Soft and pliable flour tortillas serve as the base for these rollups, holding the ham, cheese, and any additional fillings in place.
  • Mayonnaise and Mustard: Optional condiments like mayonnaise and mustard add extra flavor and creaminess to the rollups.
  • Herbs and Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano elevate the flavors of the rollups, adding a savory depth to the taste.

Instructions

Prepare the Tortillas:

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the tortillas on the pan for about 10-15 seconds on each side to warm them up. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll.
  2. Spread Condiments: If you like, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and mustard on each tortilla. This adds extra flavor and moisture to the rollups. You can skip this step if you prefer a simpler flavor.

Add the Ham and Cheese:

  1. Layer the Ingredients: Place 2 slices of Halal-certified turkey or chicken ham on each warmed tortilla, ensuring they cover the entire surface. Then, sprinkle about ¼ cup of shredded cheese evenly over the ham.
  2. Season: Lightly sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano over the ham and cheese for extra flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Roll Up the Tortillas:

  1. Add Optional Greens: If you’re using fresh spinach or lettuce, place a few leaves on top of the ham and cheese before rolling up the tortilla. The greens add freshness and crunch to the rollups.
  2. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly from one edge to the other. Make sure the filling is secure inside, and the rollup holds its shape.

Cook the Rollups:

  1. Pan-Fry the Rollups: Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in the same pan or griddle over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the rolled-up tortillas seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
  2. Check for Doneness: If the rollups are browning too quickly, lower the heat and cook them more slowly to ensure the cheese inside has time to melt without burning the tortilla.

Serve:

  1. Cut and Serve: Once the rollups are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the pan. Let them cool for a minute before cutting them into smaller pieces or serving whole. If desired, serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch dressing, or a simple vinaigrette.
