Ingredients
  

6 large flour tortillas

12 slices of smoked ham

12 slices of Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh spinach leaves (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

    Spread Mixture on Tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering it evenly.

      Layer Ham and Cheese: Place 2 slices of smoked ham on top of the cream cheese layer, followed by 2 slices of Swiss cheese. If using, add a few fresh spinach leaves for extra flavor and crunch.

        Roll it Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly but not too tight, making sure the filling stays inside. Repeat for all tortillas.

          Chill for Firmness: Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and make slicing easier.

            Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the roll-ups from the fridge. Unwrap and slice each tortilla into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch wide. Arrange them on a serving platter.

              Drizzle with Olive Oil: Optional - for an extra touch, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the sliced pinwheels before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve the ham and cheese roll-ups as an appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or a cozy gathering!
