In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, all of the shredded cheddar cheese, the finely diced ham, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.

Lay out one large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Don't be shy with the cheese, we want an 'explosión'!

Roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one edge. Make sure it's nice and snug to prevent the cheese from escaping. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.

Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter. This is key for that golden, crispy exterior. Then, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each buttered roll. We're going for a 'lluvia de queso' here!
