Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the deviled ham and cream cheese until well combined.

- Roll up each tortilla jelly roll style.
- Wrap and store overnight in a cold cut keeper.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting low-fat cream cheese and using whole wheat tortillas. You can also replace the deviled ham with turkey or chicken spread for a different flavor. If you want extra crunch, add some finely chopped bell peppers or celery to the mixture. Make sure to drain the pineapple well to prevent sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham Cheese Roll-Ups make a fantastic appetizer or snack for parties. Serve them with a side of the homemade sauce made from mayonnaise, mustard, and honey for dipping. They also pair beautifully with Hagerstown Beans And Rice for a complete meal. Garnish with additional chopped green onions for an extra touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you want to reheat them, do so in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warm, but be careful not to overheat, as the tortillas can become tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, these roll-ups can be prepared a day in advance. Just follow the instructions and store them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in a cold cut keeper. This allows the flavors to meld, making them even tastier when served the next day.
What can I substitute for the deviled ham?
If you don't have deviled ham, you can use any spreadable meat like chicken salad or turkey spread. For a vegetarian option, consider using a bean spread or hummus, which will still provide a creamy texture and flavor.
Can I freeze the roll-ups?
Freezing is not recommended for these roll-ups, as the tortillas can become soggy upon thawing. However, you can freeze the filling separately and then prepare fresh tortillas when you're ready to serve. This way, you'll maintain the best texture.
