Ham Rings

Ingredients
Instructions
- Take tortillas, ham, cheese, and layer spinach dip last.
- Roll up tightly in waxed paper.
- Chill thoroughly.
- To serve, cut into 1/8-inch slices.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a layer of spinach dip or your favorite spread like hummus for extra flavor. If you don’t have Swiss cheese, any melty cheese such as cheddar or provolone can work well. Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to avoid unrolling during slicing. Using fresh ingredients will enhance the overall taste of these Ham Rings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Ham Rings as a delightful appetizer for parties or gatherings. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh veggies or a light salad. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a warm bowl of Shirley Mckenzie'S Clam Chowder, which adds a nice contrast with its creamy texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the slices in a toaster oven or skillet until warmed through, which will help retain their texture. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the tortillas soggy and chewy.
