Dill Pickle Pickle Roll-ups
Have you ever enjoyed pickle rollups? The one where you add cream cheese to ham, add a pickle and roll it up. Remember those dill pickle wraps?
This version is VERY similar to that. But we’re adding tortillas and a little bit of seasoning too. We inhaled these when we gathered with family at our annual lake vacations. So delicious and great memories!
Why We Love This Recipe:
- SIMPLE – These ham pickle roll ups are the perfect party appetizers. Just a handful of ingredients are required plus a quick and simple process. Easy cleanup too!
- NOSTALGIC – These tasty little bites are possibly a Midwest thing. We lived in Iowa and loved eating pickle appetizers.
- DELISH – Pickle lovers will love this delicious appetizer for sure. Plus the ham slices add a ton of flavor too.
- GREAT FOR GAME DAY – Make these pinwheels for your next party or game day gathering. BTW, they make great after school snacks as well.
Ingredients Used:
- Large Flour Tortillas – We use burrito-sized flour tortillas. I don’t recommend anything smaller because they won’t hold as much filling.
- Cream Cheese – Use cream cheese light or full-fat cream cheese. You could also try a flavored cream cheese like veggie or herb flavored.
- Ham – I prefer Boar’s Head Tavern Ham but your favorite deli ham works fine too.
- Dill Pickles – I used small whole dill pickles and diced them up. You could use pickle spears or baby dills instead.
- Seasonings – A combo of onion powder, dill weed, and black pepper.
How to make Dill Pickle Pinwheels:
Step 1
Mix cream cheese and seasonings. Add softened cream cheese and seasonings to a small bowl. Use a hand mixer to combine well.
Step 2
Prep pickles. Use a paper towel to dry off the outsides of the dill pickles. Then dice them up and set aside.
Step 3
Assemble pinwheels. Add a large tortilla to a cutting board. Then add the softened cream cheese mixture, using a spatula to spread to all sides of the tortilla. Add diced tangy dill pickles to the top of the cream cheese, followed by slices of ham.
Step 4
Roll up the pinwheels. Then roll up the tortillas, keeping them tight as you roll them up.
Step 5
Slice. When ready to serve, use a serrated knife to slice the tortillas into pinwheels. Add tortilla roll ups to a serving platter in a single layer.
