Ingredients

Scale

2 medium low-carb tortillas
6–8 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

Prep – Lay tortillas flat; spread a thin layer of mustard, leaving a 1-inch border.
Layer – Add 2 slices of Swiss, then 3–4 slices of ham per tortilla.
Roll – Fold sides in, roll tightly upward, and place seam-side down.
Brush – Coat the tops with melted butter.
Air Fry – Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
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!
