Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) dill pickles, finely chopped
- 4 slices deli ham (or turkey)
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Flavor Fusion: Thoroughly blend cream cheese with finely chopped pickles, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Layer & Stack: Generously spread the pickle-infused cream cheese across each tortilla, ensuring complete coverage, then strategically place ham slices atop the creamy base.
- Rolling Technique: Carefully and tightly roll the tortillas, creating compact cylinders, and securely encase them in plastic wrap for a controlled chilling process in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes to enhance structural integrity.
- Presentation Prep: Retrieve the chilled rolls, unwrap with precision, and slice into elegant 1-inch pinwheel segments, ready to be served as an appetizing and visually appealing snack.
Notes
- Drain pickles thoroughly to prevent excess moisture that could make tortillas soggy. Use dill pickles for sharper flavor or sweet pickles for milder taste.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smooth, easy mixing. Use full-fat cream cheese for richer texture and better binding.
- Press gently while rolling to ensure compact pinwheels. Use plastic wrap to help create tight, uniform rolls without breaking tortillas.
- Refrigerate for minimum 1 hour for cleaner cuts and firmer texture. For best results, prepare a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and improve slicing precision.
