Prepare the collard green leaves by trimming the thick stem running down the center of each leaf. Use a knife to carefully shave the stem down when it becomes thicker or less pliable, being careful not to tear the leaf.
Wash the collard leaves thoroughly in cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
Cut the red bell pepper and cucumber into thin strips about 4 inches in length to fit within the width of the wrap.
Lay out one collard green leaf on a clean flat surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the center of the leaf.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the cream cheese followed by 2 slices of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Arrange a few strips of red bell pepper and cucumber along one edge of the leaf.
Starting with the edge holding the vegetables, gently but firmly roll the collard leaf over the filling, tucking the edges in as you roll to create a wrap.
Place the finished wrap seam-side down and secure it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low carb ham and cheese wraps!
