Ingredients

  • 6 flour tortillas see note
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup dill pickle relish see note
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 1 cup deli ham

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.
  • Remove the roll ups from the fridge and cut into 1 inch wheels.

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.
Grated Cheese: Any of these varieties will taste great! You can omit the cheese if you want to. Trust me, it's worth adding!
  • Monterey Jack
  • Pepper Jack
  • Cheddar
  • Swiss
Tortillas:
  • 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.
Pickles:
  • 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.
