Ingredients
1/3cupmayo
1teaspoonminced chipotle pepper in adobe sauce
1 1/2teaspoonsfresh lime juice
5flour tortillasapprox. 7 1/2 inch
10each thin slices of smoked ham and smoked turkey lunch meat
1avocado thinly slicedtossed with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice (to prevent browning)
2thinly sliced green onionsgreen parts only
1/4poundshredded monterey jack & cheddar cheese blend
Instructions
Preheat oven to broil (use lower setting if you have a high and low setting.) Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
Combine mayo, minced chipotle and lime juice in small bowl and stir until well blended. Spread the mayo mixture on each of the tortillas, covering the surface, dividing it out equally. Top each with 2 slices of turkey and 2 slices of ham, placing meat toward one side of the tortilla (this will helping during the roll up process.) Divide avocado slices across tortillas, placing them on top of the lunch meat. Sprinkle the top of the meat with a little sliced green onion and the shredded cheese.
Slide a tortilla onto the foil lined baking sheet and broil until cheese starts to melt, about 1 minute (watch carefully so the tortilla doesn't start to brown.) Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for a few minutes until you can roll it up. Roll tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Chill for several hours to firm them up. Unwrap and slice into 1/2 to 1 inch slices for appetizer-sized bites. You can also cut full tortilla in half for a sandwich-sized portion. Enjoy!
