Preparation

  1. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese spread, cilantro, brown sugar, mustard and soy sauce. Divide mixture among tortillas, spreading evenly over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border. Top half of each tortilla with ham, Swiss cheese, bacon and pickles.
  2. Starting from side with toppings, roll up very tightly. Wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  3. To serve, cut 1 inch from end of each roll, and discard. Cut each roll into 4 (1 1/2-inch) slices.

Expert Tips

  • For a fun presentation, top each ham and cheese roll with a sliced dill pickle and a toothpick.
  • One 8-oz package of cream cheese can be used instead of cream cheese spread for these Cubano bites. Soften cream cheese as directed on package.
