Ranch Cream Cheese Ham Roll Ups
Description
This recipe uses softened cream cheese blended with dry ranch seasoning and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, creating a flavorful creamy base. The mixture is spread evenly on large white corn tortillas, which are then topped with sliced ham, chopped chives (or green onions), and fresh baby spinach leaves for added brightness and texture. Rolling the tortillas tightly encloses the ingredients, and chilling the rolls for at least two hours firms the filling and makes slicing into neat pinwheels simple.
The resulting roll ups have a smooth, savory interior layered with ham's saltiness and the mild pungency of chives and spinach. They can be served chilled as a snack, appetizer, or light lunch. The recipe's steps emphasize softening the cream cheese for easy spreading and refrigerating before slicing to prevent the rolls from falling apart or becoming soggy.
This method also works well for preparing ahead; however, slicing should be done just before serving if storing in the fridge or freezer to maintain shape and texture. The roll ups yield multiple servings, with each portion containing measured points information if tracking nutritional values.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese 2 x 8-ounce package, 450g, softened
- 1/2 packet ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure even blending and easier spreading.
- Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for at least two hours to allow the filling to firm up, which aids in neat slicing.
- Do not slice the roll ups if planning to freeze or store them for several days; slice immediately before serving to avoid soggy tortillas and filling leakage.
