Description
Crispy, golden-brown tortilla roll-ups filled with ham and Swiss cheese, pan-fried to perfection and finished with a zesty, sweet, and spicy apricot glaze.
Ingredients
- Large flour tortillas
- Thick-cut deli ham (honey-glazed preferred)
- Swiss cheese slices (Gruyère optional)
- Apricot jam or preserves (about 1/2 cup)
- Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Olive oil (for frying)
- Butter (small knob, for glaze)
Instructions
- Lay out tortillas and layer with two slices of ham and Swiss cheese.
- Tightly roll the tortillas from one end to the other, trimming uneven ends if necessary.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- In a small saucepan, combine apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes; heat over low until melted and bubbly.
- Stir in butter until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer fried rolls to a plate and brush generously with the warm apricot glaze.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Ensure cheese is cold before rolling to help it hold its shape. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness rather than steaming. For best results, serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
