I was delighted to find out that Cook’s is based out of Nebraska- nationally known for our meat. Cook’s begins by slow-curing their bone-in hams with ingredients like pure cane sugar, honey, brown sugar and maple syrup. For the perfect finish, they smoke the hams with hickory wood. Cook’s is the nations leading brand in traditional and spiral sliced smoked bone-in ham, corned beef and smoked picnics. Here’s a fun recipe for Christmas!
Cook’s Ham Tortilla Christmas Tree
Ingredients
- 1 pound Leftover Cook’s Bone-In ham
- 6 ounces cream cheese, whipped
- 1 cup Sliced sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 6 (6-inch) spinach flour tortillas
Preparation
- Slice ham into approximately 1/2″ wide strips.
- Spread an even, thin layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the tortilla. Place two strips of ham side by side along the lower third of the tortilla, so that they extend from one end of the tortilla. Line both sides of the ham strips with two strips of red pepper, and then one slice of cheese each; six strips total. Fold tortilla edge over entire contents and roll tightly.
- Cut into 1″ pinwheels.
- Stack layers of pinwheels in rings one on top of another, decreasing the size of each ring until you reach the top of the tree.
- Dress your tree with cranberries, or star-shaped cutouts of red or yellow pepper.

I look forward to watching Charlie Brown Christmas on tv like you would not BELIEVE!!!
the holidays make me SOOOO happy!! I love this time of year!
Christmas is the one holiday when all of my family are together at one time. It’s nice to sit around the table and tell stories about our children and growing up. Ham has always been on the table at Christmas. Wouldn’t be Christmas without it.
I love ham for the holidays with candied yams, and our stores carry Cook’s
Love the idea to make a Christmas tree out of the rolls…cute presentation….and it made me hungry looking at it
So glad to see I can buy it nearby! Love having ham on Christmas Eve.
Turkey and ham are the classic Christmas dinners. Wish we didn’t have so many vegetarians or only-chicken eaters in the family.
Mmmm, ham. I didn’t realize how many stores near me sold the Cook’s products. yay for ham : )
Thankfully there are Cook’s products near us! And for Christmas there is always Ham, Turkey, and 100′s of side dishes I dig into!
