Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium low-carb tortillas

  • 68 slices deli ham (black forest or honey ham)

  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère/white cheddar)

  • 1 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil spray)

  • Optional: 1 tsp Dijon or honey mustard for spread

Chef Tip: Add a pinch of garlic powder to your butter for an irresistible aroma!


Instructions

  1. Prep – Lay tortillas flat; spread a thin layer of mustard, leaving a 1-inch border.

  2. Layer – Add 2 slices of Swiss, then 3–4 slices of ham per tortilla.

  3. Roll – Fold sides in, roll tightly upward, and place seam-side down.

  4. Brush – Coat the tops with melted butter.

  5. Air Fry – Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6–10 minutes until golden and crisp.

  6. Rest & Serve – Let cool 1 minute, then slice diagonally for that perfect café look.

Serving Idea: Pair with dill pickles, fresh berries, or a crisp green salad for balance.

Notes

  • For a “Cuban” spin, add pickles and yellow mustard.

  • Try turkey + provolone with pesto for a fresh twist.

  • Keep tortillas tight to avoid cheese leaks!
