Scale
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/2 cup diced deli ham
- 1 1/2 cup diced dill pickle spears
- 6-7 taco-sized tortillas
Instructions
- Dice the ham and pickles: Finely dice the deli ham and dill pickle spears into small, even pieces and set them aside for mixing.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickles, making sure they are thoroughly combined without breaking the pieces down too much.
- Spread on tortillas: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, leaving about a ½ inch border on one end to make rolling easier.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form compact pinwheels that hold together well.
- Chill the pinwheels: Place the rolled tortillas on a plate, wrap them securely in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for one hour to firm up and enhance flavors.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily blend with the other ingredients.
- Use firm dill pickle spears to maintain crunch in the pinwheels.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated, wrapped tightly to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to substitute the deli ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor profile.
- These are ideal for potlucks, parties, and snack platters.
