Pickle Roll Ups are such a fun appetizer made with ham, cream cheese, pickles in a tortilla wrap!
If you’re here you love pickles as much as I do! This recipe is going to knock your socks off! These tortilla roll ups are out of this world!
Why this is the Best Pickle Roll Up Recipe:
There is so much to love about this appetizer!
- It’s best made ahead of time, which is a lifesaver when you’re hosting a party!
- Make them in minutes with my shortcuts!
- Keto options to keep it healthy!
- So yummy!
Pickle Wrap Ingredients:
These are simple ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. I’ll give you some options for substituting too….just in case!
- Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best. Make sure they’re fresh so they’ll roll easily. Try low-carb tortillas if you’d like.
- Ham: Replace tortilla with ham to keep it completely gluten-free and keto-friendly. You can also use dried beef if you’d like.
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat. Reduced-fat has extra water in it and will make the rollups soggy.
- Dill Pickle Relish: An easy shortcut. If you don’t have it chop pickles.
- Grated Cheese: Cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, etc.
- Garlic Powder
How to Make Pickle Roll Ups:

Instructions
How to Make Pickle Roll Ups with Tortillas:
- Drain liquid from pickle relish. (See note below about using dill pickles)
- Mix room temperature cream cheese, pickle relish (or diced pickles), chopped ham, grated cheese, and garlic powder together.
- Microwave tortilla for a few seconds to soften them so they are pliable.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, spreading to the edges.
- Roll tortillas up tightly and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.

How to Make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups
- Drain liquid from pickle relish. (See note below about using dill pickles)
- Mix room temperature cream cheese, pickle relish (or diced pickles), grated cheese, and garlic powder together.
- Blot the ham dry so the cream cheese mixture will stick to it. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the ham slices. You may need more ham one cup of ham to make the wraps this way.
- Roll up the ham jelly-roll style. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Cut ham into pinwheels.
Notes
Ham:
- To make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups you’ll need more ham. Leave it in whole slices. Use ham slices that are about 1/16 an inch thick so they’ll roll up nicely.
- To make Pickle Roll Ups with tortillas finely dice the ham.
- Monterey Jack
- Pepper Jack
- Cheddar
- Swiss
- Any size tortilla can be used. You’ll need more or less depending on the size of tortillas. I usually use taco-sized flour tortillas and use between 4 and 6.
- Be sure to drain pickle relish in a strainer to remove the liquid. If it’s not drained the pinwheels will get soggy.
- You can use jarred dill pickles. Chop them into small pieces. Dry off with a paper towel.

They are always a hit whenever I take them to parties! So yummy!
I almost spit out my coffee — good clean entertainment!!! Love it!
Lol! Doesn’t watching little kids make funny faces qualify as good clean, cheap entertainment? I think I’m easily entertained!
With dill pickle relish? Love that idea! My kids would be all over these.
You could always chop dill pickles up and get basically the same thing…but if I can buy them already shopped why not? So yummy!
My kids are mad for dill pickles and wraps – I so have to make this for their school packed lunches! Great idea!
I just packed these in my kids school lunches today! Such a nice change of pace from old sandwiches!
Yum! Definitely perfect for dill pickle fans. I love how easily they come together and that they can be made ahead of time. Such a great idea for holiday entertaining.
Anything quick and easy is always a win in my book! Especially if they this yummy!
I used to hate pickles, but as I got pregnant with my first son I started craving them and I haven’t stopped since. My son is now 18. What is it with Pickle? I need to make those now
Haha! Glad you finally joined the rest of us pickle lovers! These are every bit as addiciting as eating plain pickles!
I love anything pickle. I will have to give these a try.
Pickles are the best! This is a great way to eat even more of them!
Yum, I love anything pickle so I am going to need to try these!
My kind of appetizer for Christmas dinner!
How creative! I love this for an appetizer or lunch!
Thanks! These are just the thing for those serious dill pickle lovers!
Ohhhh…. love the dill pickle in this! Pinwheels are so much fun for my girls!
These sound so delicious! I think my family would love these for sure – they usually go nuts for any type of wrap or roll style appetizer. Can’t wait to make these at home. Need to find a way to get rid of these dill pickles I have in the fridge! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like these will be just the thing for your family! Those big jars of dill pickles can get a little much! This will be a fun new way to use them up!
Hi Amy…I just saw your post on Pinterest. It states that it is Gluten Free. This statement is not true (flour tortillas are not Gluten Free) and should be removed.
Hmmm! Maybe Pinterest labeled it as gluten free. I don’t remember ever saying these are gluten free. I’ll have to check into it. Thanks for letting me know!
I love e doll pickles and doll pickle relish so I’m gonna have to try this recipe. I’ll let you know how my family likes them.
I’ve made these twice now and they have been devoured both times! They are DELICIOUS! I discovered Deli Dill relish by Mt Olive (bigger chunks, more dill and not as salty) and did a taste test by making 1/2 with regular dill relish and the other 1/2 with the Deli Dill and took them to work…the Deli relish was the winner, although all of them were eaten. Really fantastic recipe. I may try adding thinly sliced salami next time.. Yummo!
Yay! Anything dill pickle is a winner at my house! I’m going to look for that brand of Deli Relish! Sounds yummy! Adding meat is always a good idea! Let me know how it goes!
You use a store brand of dill pickle relish or home made?
I always use a store brand of dill pickle relish! Good luck!
How far in advance would you say you could make these without them going bad? I need to make an app 4 days before serving but am afraid of the tortillas getting too soggy. Can these be frozen? Or same problem?
Hi Emily! I’m afraid four days might be a little bit early. I’m guessing two days is about all the earlier you’re going to want to make them. I wouldn’t recommend freezing them either because it will alter the texture of the cream cheese. They are so delicious, I hope you can squeeze them into your schedule!
Could I usecwhipped cream cheese.
Would whipped cream cheese work..?
Hi Bonnie! I’ve never tried whipped cream cheese in this cheeseball before. I’m guessing it would work just fine. It will likely be a little softer than regular cream cheese, but that wouldn’t hurt anything either! Let me know how it turns out!
If you minced up a few slices of deli ham and mixed that in too, it’d be like the pickle spears wrapped in cream cheese and ham but easier to eat. Might be worth a try.
Great idea! I bet that would be a scrumptious addition! I need to try that ASAP!
Going to try some of your recipes today. They sound delicious!
I love the name of your farm.
I’m a huge fan of Little House on the Prairie.
Good thinking!
I can’t wait for you to try some of my recipes today! My siblings and I used to watch Little House on the Prairie all the time and now my kids watch it! It’s such a great show!
My kids flocked to these and devoured them! Super yummy and fun.
Every kid loves grilled cheese sandwiches! Pickles are like icing on the cake!
Can garlic powder be subbed for garlic paste? If so how much would be recommended? Thanks!
Since garlic powder is so much more concentrated you’ll only need a little bit. It’s actually 1/16th of a teaspoon, so I’d just add a dash! I can’t wait for you to try it!
