Ham Wrap Recipe

Gather & Prep

Gather all ingredients. Wash and dry lettuce leaves and vegetables. Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber (if using). If using avocado, slice just before assembling to prevent browning.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (4 tsp) and Dijon mustard (2 tsp). Stir until smooth. Season with salt (1/4 tsp) and black pepper (1/8 tsp). Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

Lay Tortilla

Place one large flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface.

Spread

Using a spoon or small spatula, spread approximately 1 tablespoon (equal to about 1 tsp mayonnaise + some mustard mixture) of the prepared spread evenly over the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Layer Ingredients

Place one leaf of lettuce on the spread. Top with two slices of ham, about 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (or a couple of slices), then 2-3 thin tomato slices and a few cucumber slices if using. Add optional avocado slices or pickles and a few drops of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

Season

Lightly sprinkle a small pinch of salt and a grind of pepper over the tomato and cucumber to enhance flavor.

Fold & Roll

Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold the left and right sides inward and roll tightly away from you to form a compact wrap. Ensure seam side is down to keep it closed.

Repeat

Repeat the layering and rolling process for the remaining tortillas to make a total of 4 wraps.

If serving immediately, slice each wrap in half on the diagonal. For transport or to keep warm, wrap each in parchment or foil. Serve with chips, a salad, or fresh fruit. Refrigerate any leftover wraps in an airtight container for up to 24 hours (best eaten same day).
