Servings4 serving rolls (2 rolls per person)

Equipment

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch burrito size works best for tight rolling)
8 thin slices deli ham (smoked, honey, or Black Forest ham)
1.5 cups shredded cheese (a blend of Cheddar and Mozzarella or Swiss for optimal melt)
2 tbsp unsalted butter , melted (or olive oil spray)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard
1 tbsp mayonnaise
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried Italian seasoning or parsley flakes
Optional: Sliced pickled jalapeños or banana peppers for a zesty kick

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and garlic powder until smooth. This flavorful base coats the tortilla, adding moisture and a tangy counterpoint to the rich ham and cheese.

Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
Spread roughly 1 tablespoon of the mustard-mayo mix evenly across each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border along the edges.
Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese (about 2 tablespoons) over the spread.
Lay 2 slices of deli ham flat over the cheese layer.
Top the ham with the remaining shredded cheese (roughly 3 to 4 tablespoons per tortilla). Keeping cheese on both top and bottom of the ham acts as the “glue” that seals the roll together as it melts.

Fold two opposite sides slightly inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up into a neat log. Place the roll seam-side down on your board so it holds its shape.

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish and stir in the dried Italian seasoning. Brush the outside of each tortilla roll lightly with the seasoned butter mixture.
