Tortilla Roll-Up Appetizers
If you want a simple appetizer that people absolutely can’t stay away from, try this easy recipe. I’ve made it countless times over the years and never have any leftovers.
Warning – we absolutely will not talk about the caloric content of this recipe! And don’t go all healthy-substitute crazy on me here. You have to follow the recipe or it just doesn’t taste right!
Ingredients
Mix up your filling. I know it looks a little... um... interesting.
Please don't be like me and absentmindedly put the meat on first then try to spread filling over the top. Put the filling on the shell, then layer on the meat!
Filling spread out on the shell, then add the meat.
Roll it up tightly.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let set in the fridge for several hours or overnight. The longer it rests, the better the flavor!
Unwrap, slice and enjoy!
Tortilla and Ham Roll-Ups
4 large flour tortilla (or 6-8 smaller ones)
1 large package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated cheddar-jack cheese
1 small can chopped olives
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 package of ham lunch meat, thinly sliced
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar-jack cheese, ranch dressing and olives. Mix well then spread over tortilla, going almost to the edges.
Layer on ham then tightly roll up tortillas. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. When you are ready to serve, unwrap, slice into about 1/2-inch wide slices and stand back. You don’t want to get trampled by the crowd as they hurry to devour these. (Unless Captain Cavedweller is there, in which case, linger all you want, he ain’t eating these!).
Happy Entertaining!
