Start with a Tortilla with Ham, Cheese, Spinach, Mozzarella, and Bacon. Begin with a 23cm tortilla and layer slices of ham evenly across it.

Add your favorite cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, followed by fresh spinach leaves.

Fold the tortilla in half to create a neat semicircle.

Open the fold and add mozzarella cheese and fully-cooked bacon for an extra burst of flavor.

Fold it again and toast until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown.

This combination of savory ingredients is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
