Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups diced deli ham
- 1 1/2 cups diced dill pickle spears
- 6-7 taco-sized tortillas
Instructions
- Dice Ingredients: Dice the ham and dill pickle spears into small, uniformly sized pieces and set them aside to prepare for mixing.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickles until the mixture is well combined and evenly distributed.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a half-inch margin along the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out when rolled. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to create the pinwheels.
- Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap to maintain shape and moisture. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for about one hour to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up the rolls for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately one-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy your delicious pickle dip pinwheels!
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Adjust the amount of diced pickles to control the level of tanginess.
- These pinwheels can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute cream cheese with a reduced-fat cream cheese.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing appetizer.
