Ingredients:
4 tortillas, store-bought
4 thin slices ham
ketchup, mild mustard, or chili sauce
2oz (50g) grated cheese, such as Cheddar
carrots, peeled and chopped, to serve (optional)
cucumber, chopped, to serve (optional)

Method:
1 Place 2 of the tortillas on the work surface. Place 2 slices of ham on each tortilla, trying to ensure that the ham covers the whole tortilla. Tear it a little and spread it out if necessary.

2 Depending on your children’s tastes, you could spread a little ketchup, mild mustard, or chili sauce over the top of the ham. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over both the tortillas, and top with a second tortilla to make a sandwich.

3 Heat a large frying pan (big enough to take the tortillas) over medium heat. Cook the tortillas 1 at a time for 1 minute on each side. Turn them after each minute and continue to cook until both sides are cooked and browned in places.

4 Cut each tortilla into 8 segments, as you would a pizza, and serve immediately, with some chopped carrot and cucumber for a quick lunch.
