Step-by-step instructions
- Begin by preheating your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Lay out a flour tortilla and place 2 slices of ham in the center along with a handful of shredded cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling, making sure it’s secure.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Best ways to enjoy it
Presentation matters! Serve your Cheese & Ham Wraps with a side of salsa, guacamole, or a fresh salad for a pop of color. You can even slice them into pinwheels for a fun party platter. Kids love dipping them, so don’t forget a few sauces to complement the flavors.
Storage and reheating tips
Got leftovers? No problem! Store any unconsumed wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back into the air fryer for a few minutes or you can briefly microwave if you’re in a rush. Ensure safe food handling practices by cooling the wraps completely before refrigeration.
Pro chef tips
For a perfectly packaged wrap, ensure your tortillas are slightly warm before rolling. This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack. If you’re looking to bake these instead, you can brush them lightly with olive oil for a beautifully crisp finish.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Try adding different ingredients like grilled chicken for a protein boost or spice things up with jalapeños for a kick. You could also swap out flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn ones for a healthier option.
