Ham & Fresh Basil Pinwheels' Haiku: "I used less cream cheese, and 'spinach-herb' tortillas. These disappeared fast!" I used 8 8" spinach tortillas and kept the rest of the ingredients' amounts the same, other than reducing the cream cheese drastically - I can't imagine going thru 8 oz. - it would've been like biting thru a layer of cream cheese as its own ingredient in the sandwich, rather than just the tortilla-lube. Definitely worth the splurge to get good quality deli ham, and not pre-packaged stuff. I served these at a party, and they were a delish hit.

This was really good, but I made some changes. I am not a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes that are bottled from the store. They are usually too oily and I think putting them in there would be too strong. I put the sun dried tomatoes, cream cheese, basil (dried), and some garlic powder in a food processor and mixed it together like a paste. Then I put that as the spread. Then I put the ham, and instead of the red leaf lettuce used baby spinach down on the tortillas. It was exellent!

These were good, but I think they would be better with carrots. *UPDATE* In my opinion, MUCH better with carrots!

I've been eating a variation of this for lunch most days for the past couple of weeks. I go through all of the steps but instead of rolling it into pinwheels to serve as appetizers I eat the whole thing as a wrap. I use low-fat cream cheese so that it's not so fattening. Also, since I'm not slicing it into pinwheels I skip the chilling step (I figure the chilling is just to keep it from falling apart when you are slicing it into rounds). I wouldn't usually think of sundried tomatoes as something to combine with ham, but I really enjoy the combination. And you can't go wrong with cream cheese!

I tried these at my aunt's party yesterday and just had to come here today to look up the recipe. They tasted awesome and are fast and easy to make for a get-together.

good for what it is - easy finger food. I added some green onion and a little garlic powder and pepper. The basil was a great diversion from the normal roll-up recipes.

These are delicious and were a HUGE hit! I followed some of the other reviews and used a Sun Dried Tomato Pesto (from this sight) instead of the sun dried tomatoes, I was worried they would be too chewy/hard. Since I used the pesto, I reduced the fresh basil leaves to 1/2; 2 ounces went in the pest and 2 ounces were sliced and laid on the ham. This recipe is a definite keeper.

This was a huge hit with my guests. I used herb cream cheese and not nearly so much basil. I chopped both the basil and sun-dried tomatoes (after soaking the latter in water for a few minutes, because they were really hard), then sprinkled them over the cream cheese before adding ham and lettuce. I served them with a raspberry-mustard dipping sauce as someone else had suggested (I mixed Dijon mustard and raspberry jam to taste) and it was a great combination. Oh, I also cut mine into five pieces so they were smaller. Will definitely make again - great recipe!
