# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices of deli ham
02 -
4 regular-sized flour tortillas (8 inches)
03 -
1 spoonful of softened butter
04 -
2 cups of cheddar jack cheese, shredded
# Steps:
01 -
Put your tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, lay a damp paper towel over them, and microwave for 20 seconds until they’re warm and bend easily.
02 -
Dice the ham into small pieces. This makes filling go around evenly and keeps things tidy for eating.
03 -
Spoon about a quarter cup of cheese onto the center of each tortilla, layer with chopped ham, and scatter a bit more cheese on top.
04 -
Fold all the edges inward, then fold the tortilla in half. Press along the edges so it stays shut.
05 -
Turn your air fryer to 380°F and let it heat up for 3 minutes while you finish putting the pockets together.
06 -
Spread softened butter across the tops of the pockets, sprinkle a bit of cheese on each, and press lightly so the cheese clings to the butter.
07 -
Place the pockets seam-side down in the fryer’s basket. Let them cook for 5 minutes, checking at the halfway point to see if they’re browning evenly.
08 -
Pull your pockets out carefully and leave them for a minute or two before serving. The filling is super hot!
# Notes:
01 -
Heating tortillas before folding stops them from cracking
02 -
Press cheese onto the butter so it stays put and doesn’t get blown around in the air fryer
03 -
You can prep these ahead and freeze them for up to 3 months
04 -
Every air fryer works a little differently, so cooking times might vary
05 -
If you don’t own an air fryer, bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes
