WARM HAM AND CHEESE WRAPS

6 (10-inch) whole-wheat tortillas

1 lb (24 slices) thin sliced ham
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
3 cups shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup diced cucumber or zucchini
2 tbsp chopped green onion including tops
2 tbsp chopped bell pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Layer four slices of ham and 1/3 cup of the cheese on each of the tortillas.  Roll up the tortillas and secure with toothpicks (remove before serving!).  Place wraps in an ungreased 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking pan; cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

While wraps are in the oven, combine the lettuce, tomato, cucumber or zucchini, bell pepper, and green onions; set aside.

DRESSING:
3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
3 tbsp milk
2 tsp sugar, omit if using salad dressing
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp celery or caraway seed

Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.

When wraps are removed from oven, unwrap halfway and add the lettuce mixture and dressing; roll back up and serve while hot.

Yield: 6 wraps
