Ham and Cheese Tortilla Pinwheel Sandwich Bites

I love bite-sized appetizers that are easy to prepare, serve, and eat. This recipe takes about ten minutes from start to finish, and can easily be scaled up or down according to your preference.

I’ve added jalapenos to the version below, which can be omitted if you prefer less heat.

The following recipe makes about 18-20-bite sized sandwiches

Ham and Cheese Tortilla Pinwheel Sandwich Bites

I love bite-sized appetizers that are easy to prepare, serve, and eat. This recipe takes about ten minutes from start to finish, and can easily be scaled up or down according to your preference.

I’ve added jalapenos to the version below, which can be omitted if you prefer less heat.

The following recipe makes about 18-20-bite sized sandwiches

Ingredients

• 3 extra-large flour tortillas
• ¼ cup cream cheese
• 2 Tbsp sour cream
• 1 jalapeno (seeds removed, remainder finely minced)
• 4 scallions (sliced finely)
• ¼ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
• ¼ tsp Kosher salt
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 12 thin slices of deli-style ham
• ½ cup prepared salsa (for dipping)

Instructions 

• Lay the tortillas out on your tortilla assembly and rolling surface.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeno, scallions, fresh black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Kosher salt.
• Spread the mixture in a thin layer onto the tortillas.
• Top with two slices of cheddar cheese per tortilla.
• Add four thin slices of ham to each tortilla.
• Tightly roll the tortillas, and add six or seven toothpick skewers to each tortilla to keep the individual slices together.
• Slice the rolled tortilla into roughly 6-7 pieces per tortilla.
• Serve with prepared salsa, for dipping, along with extra napkins.

Notes

These can be made an hour or two in advance or serving, just make sure you keep the sandwiches covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
