Ingredients
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: Cut the deli ham and dill pickle spears into small, evenly diced pieces and set them aside for later use.
- Mix cream cheese and diced ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spread mixture on tortillas: Evenly spread the creamy ham and pickle mixture onto each taco-sized tortilla, leaving about a ½ inch border on one edge to make rolling easier.
- Roll up the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to secure the filling inside, creating the pinwheel shape.
- Chill the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas on a plate and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour to allow the mixture to set and for easier slicing.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice the rolled tortillas into approximately 1-inch rounds. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to make spreading easier.
- Chilling the rolled tortillas is essential for clean slicing and maintaining shape.
- You can substitute deli ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor.
- Diced dill pickles add a tangy crunch; sweet pickles can be used if preferred for a sweeter taste.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
