Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices deli ham (or turkey)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) dill pickles, finely chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
Instructions
- Prepare Spread: Blend cream cheese with diced pickles, garlic and onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Layer and Roll: Spread the pickle-cream cheese mixture evenly across tortillas, top with ham slices, then tightly roll each tortilla into a compact cylinder, pressing gently to secure the filling.
- Chill and Set: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld together.
- Slice and Serve: Remove plastic wrap, cut each roll into one-inch thick pinwheels, and arrange on a serving platter for an elegant and appetizing presentation.
Notes
- Pickle Precision: Dice pickles finely to avoid large chunks that could disrupt the smooth texture of the cream cheese spread.
- Wrap Wisely: Roll tortillas tightly to prevent unraveling and ensure each pinwheel holds its shape when sliced.
- Chill for Structure: Refrigeration is crucial; a minimum 30-minute rest helps pinwheels set and makes cutting cleaner and more uniform.
- Flavor Flexibility: Swap ham with turkey or vegetarian deli slices for dietary adaptations, maintaining the zesty pickle cream cheese base.
