Ham and Cheese Tortilla Roll Ups

Tortillas are a staple in our household as everyone who lives here loves them. We like to use them in various recipes, and they have almost completely replaced bread in our home. Currently, we have four different kinds of tortillas: flour tortillas, corn tortillas, white corn tortillas, and blue corn tortillas. We hope that this recipe post for Ham and Cheese Tortilla Roll Ups inspires you as much as it inspires us.

One thing we love about tortillas is their versatility. We have recipes for breakfast, dinner, dessert, and appetizers. We recently created a fun recipe for Ham & Cheese Bruschetta Party Rolls Recipe as a delicious appetizer to bring to a party. However, they were so good that our children took the first batch and ate them for dinner, and even brought some in their lunchboxes the next day. These rolls are incredibly delicious, and the fresh bruschetta topping makes them even better.
