Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the ham, egg, celery, red onion, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, and pepper into a food processor. Pulse a few times to break up the ingredients and then scrape down the sides. Continue to pulse until everything is combined and well chopped up, you can leave this a little on the chunky or smooth side depending on your preference.
  • Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread 1/4th of the ham salad mixture over the tortilla leaving a ½ inch border around the outside of the tortilla. Take the bottom of the tortilla and begin to roll it over itself to form a log. Try to roll it tightly but not so tight that the tortilla breaks.
  • Take a large piece of plastic wrap and roll the log into the piece of plastic wrap tightly and tuck the ends under. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight is best. Discard the plastic wrap and cut them into about ½ inch slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I normally do not add salt, as several other ingredients, like the ham and relish already have a salty flavor. Therefore, I only add pepper without the salt.
  2. If you don’t like sweet pickle relish you can use dill pickle relish or chopped up pickles of your choice. I think the sweetness really works for these rolls.
  3. I would use these rolls within 2 to 3 days of being stored in the fridge because the longer they are refrigerated, the more likely that they may turn the tortillas soggy.
