Pineapple-Ham Tortilla Roll-Up Ingredients:

Fortunately, it doesn't take a ton of ingredients to make these flavorful Pineapple-Ham Tortilla Roll-Ups. To whip up a batch, you'll need:

• Cream cheese - Creates the creamy base of the roll-up filling. Regular cream cheese works better than lower-fat cream cheese to create a firmer filling.

• Ham - Any chopped fully-cooked ham works, whether that's baked ham leftovers, a portion of a ham steak, or thick slices from the deli. Just be sure there's not strong flavors from a glaze that could overpower the tortilla roll-ups' filling.

• Crushed pineapple - Brings in the roll-ups' signature pineapple flavor. An 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple plus 2 tablespoons of its juice are needed.

• Green pepper - Finely chopped green pepper pairs beautifully as a savory contrast with the filling's sweet pineapple.

• Onion - A bit of very finely chopped onion nicely seasons the cream cheese filling.

• Chopped pecans - Finely chopped pecans contribute fabulous flavor and a nice bit of textural crunch.

• Salt - Enhances and rounds out the filling's flavors.

• Flour tortillas - Taco-sized flour tortillas serve as the wrapper for the roll-ups.

How to Make Pineapple-Ham Tortilla Roll-Ups:

Pineapple-Ham Tortilla Roll-Ups are pretty quick and easy to make.

To get a batch going, start by making the creamy filling. Just stir together softened cream cheese with some drained crushed pineapple and a little bit of its juice, a bit of chopped green pepper, finely chopped onion, and some salt until they're all well combined. 

Then stir in chopped fully cooked ham and some chopped pecans.

Then to assemble the roll-ups, lay out flour tortillas on a work surface. Divide the filling evenly between the tortillas, and spread it into an even layer completely covering each tortilla.

Roll up the tortillas tightly and then wrap each roll-up in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the rolls for several hours or overnight to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.

At serving time, unwrap and cut each roll into about 8 pieces.

Then you're good to go with enjoying the deliciousness! Filled with fabulous flavor and the sweet and salty combination we love, Pineapple-Ham Tortilla Roll-Ups are one tasty little snacking bite. -- And one perfectly delicious little way to enjoy that leftover ham.
