Ranch Ham Roll-Ups
Cream cheese and ranch dressing create a creamy, flavorful filling, complemented by ham and green onions, perfect for parties, appetizers, or casual gatherings with a savory, satisfying taste.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and salad dressing mix until smooth.
- Add chopped green onions and mix well.
- Spread about 3 tablespoons of the mixture over each flour tortilla.
- Top with slices of deli ham.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate until firm.
- Unwrap and cut into 3/4-inch slices to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, try adding finely chopped bell peppers or shredded cheese to the cream cheese mixture. You can substitute the deli ham with turkey or roast beef for a different protein. If you're short on time, use pre-packaged cream cheese spreads available in various flavors. Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Serving Suggestions
These Ranch Ham Roll-Ups make a perfect appetizer or snack for gatherings, pairing well with fresh veggies and dip or a side of Cheese 'N Broccoli Salad. For a complete meal, serve them alongside a light soup, like Hodge Podge Soup, or a simple green salad. They are also a great addition to a picnic spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Ranch Ham Roll-Ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare these roll-ups a day in advance. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. This allows the flavors to meld together, making them even tastier when served.
What can I use instead of flour tortillas?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using corn tortillas or lettuce leaves as a wrap. Both alternatives provide a different texture and flavor while keeping the essence of the dish.
How can I make these roll-ups more filling?
To make the roll-ups more substantial, consider adding thinly sliced avocado, spinach, or roasted peppers to the filling. You can also increase the amount of protein by layering in additional slices of deli meat or including a spread of hummus.
