Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups diced deli ham
- 1 1/2 cups diced dill pickle spears
- 6-7 taco-sized tortillas
Instructions
- Dice Ingredients: Dice the deli ham and dill pickle spears into small, uniform pieces. Set them aside to prepare the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickles until they are evenly incorporated throughout the mixture.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, making sure to leave about a 1/2 inch margin along the edges. Then, roll the tortillas up tightly to ensure the filling stays inside.
- Chill: Wrap the rolled tortillas securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for about one hour. This chilling time helps the pinwheels to set and makes them easier to slice.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick rounds to form the pinwheels. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately for a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese for a richer and creamier texture.
- Chilling the pinwheels before slicing is essential to maintain their shape and make slicing easier.
- You can substitute the deli ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor.
- If you prefer less tang, reduce the amount of dill pickles or use sweeter pickles instead.
- These pinwheels are best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
