Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with canola oil spray.
- Lay a slice of ham on a work surface. Place a stalk of asparagus perpendicular to the ham, with the tip of the asparagus just higher than the top edge of the ham. Roll the asparagus on a diagonal, tightly wrapping the ham around the stalk as you go. (The ham should cover the entire stalk except for about an inch on the top and bottom ends.) Repeat with the remaining asparagus and ham.
- Place the asparagus, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the tops with canola oil spray. Bake until the ham is crispy and the asparagus has softened and begun to char at the tips, about 15 minutes. Immediately pour the orange juice over the hot asparagus and season with salt. (The orange juice will almost completely evaporate on the hot baking sheet, but it will infuse the asparagus with orange flavor.)
- Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and garnish with the orange zest. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant asparagus spears for optimal flavor and texture.
- Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. This will help them retain their vibrant green color.
- Use a variety of deli meats and cheeses to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include prosciutto, ham, salami, cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the tortillas to add extra flavor and help the fillings adhere.
- Arrange the asparagus spears, deli meat, and cheese on the tortillas in an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the tortillas up tightly, starting from the bottom and working your way up. If desired, secure the wraps with toothpicks or skewers to prevent them from unrolling.
- Chill the wraps in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
- Serve the asparagus ham wraps with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
