Instructions
- Place the flour tortilla flat on a surface and spread cream cheese evenly over it.
- Position a slice of ham in the center of the tortilla.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider spreading a layer of mustard over the cream cheese before adding the ham. You can substitute the ham with turkey or roast beef for different variations. If you want a bit of crunch, adding shredded lettuce or diced pickles inside the wrap works well. Make sure to use fresh tortillas for the best texture.
