INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE TORTILLA ROLLS:

  • 8 slices lean ham

FOR THE COATING:

  • Quarter tsp salt
  • ¼ cup whole-wheat flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Half cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Half tsp paprika
  • Quarter tsp black pepper

INGREDIENT NOTES:

WHOLE-WHEAT FLOUR TORTILLAS:

  • They are soft and fold easily around the ham and cheese. These tortillas provide fiber and a lighter recipe. You may use high-fiber tortillas as per your preference.

LEAN HAM:

  • It gives a savory taste and protein in the rolls. Ham gives a delicious salty taste that works well with the melted cheese. You may use reduced-sodium chicken slices as an alternative.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • This cheese gives a soft and stretchy filling to the recipe. You may use light provolone as another idea.

WHOLE-WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:

  • They make the crispy outside of the rolls. These breadcrumbs give a crunchy texture while keeping the inside soft. You may use crushed whole-wheat crackers as a substitute.

WHOLE-WHEAT FLOUR:

  • It makes an even coating when we mix it with breadcrumbs. This flour absorbs the moisture well from the egg mixture. You may use cornstarch as another option.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, put the tortilla on a clean surface.
  2. In the center of the tortillas, add one piece of ham and one slice of cheese.
  3. Fold the tortillas from the left and right sides inward, then fold the bottom edge over the filling.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly and cover the filling well, then repeat the steps with remaining tortillas.
  5. Crack eggs into the bowl, then beat in the salt and pepper to get a smooth mixture.
  6. Mix breadcrumbs, whole-wheat flour, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
  7. Dip one tortilla in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture carefully.
  8. Warm the air fryer to 190°C and spray the basket lightly.
  9. Put the seam-side-down rolls in the basket and coat their tops lightly with cooking spray.
  10. Cook the rolls for ten minutes and turn halfway through cooking.
  11. Lastly, cool the rolls for three minutes and serve warm.
