Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese, Dijon-style mustard, and chopped chives. Mix until well blended.

Assemble the Roll-ups:
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface.

- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded low-fat Swiss cheese over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
-
Layer the Ingredients:
- Place 2 lettuce leaves on top of the cheese layer on each tortilla.
- Arrange the thinly sliced ham evenly over the lettuce leaves, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Roll up the Tortillas:
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla, enclosing the fillings.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap to hold its shape.
-
Chill and Set:
- Place the wrapped roll-ups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld and the roll-ups to set.

Serve:
- After chilling, remove the roll-ups from the refrigerator.
- Unwrap the plastic wrap and place the chilled roll-ups on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, diagonally cut each roll-up in half to create attractive serving portions.
