Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 slices deli ham (or turkey)
Dairy and Cheese:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Wrap and Seasonings:
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- ½ cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Create a velvety fusion of tangy cream cheese and zesty pickles by whisking together softened cream cheese, finely diced pickles, aromatic garlic powder, pungent onion powder, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper until the mixture reaches a smooth, harmonious consistency.
- Lay out soft tortillas and meticulously spread the creamy pickle blend in an even, edge-to-edge layer, ensuring complete coverage of each tortilla’s surface.
- Strategically arrange two slices of savory ham atop the cream cheese mixture, positioning them to cover the majority of the tortilla’s landscape.
- Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla into a compact cylinder, applying gentle pressure to maintain a uniform shape and secure the filling.
- Encase each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap, creating a sealed environment that will help the pinwheels maintain their form and enhance flavor melding.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to set and the flavors to intensify and marry together.
- Remove from refrigeration, unwrap each roll, and slice into precise 1-inch segments using a sharp knife, creating elegant, bite-sized pinwheels ready for serving.
Notes
- Customize pickle intensity by adjusting the amount of chopped pickles to suit personal taste preferences.
- Swap traditional ham with turkey or roast beef for dietary variety and different flavor profiles.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing and spreading.
- Make ahead and store wrapped pinwheels in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving to enhance flavor development.
