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, evenly sized pieces to ensure an even distribution throughout the dip mixture.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickles until they are well combined with the cream cheese base, creating a flavorful spread.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Lay out each taco-sized tortilla flat and spread a generous and even layer of the cream cheese mixture over it, leaving a 1/2-inch margin around the edges for easier rolling. Roll each tortilla up tightly to keep the filling secure.
- Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Chill for about one hour to allow the flavors to meld and to make slicing easier.
- 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. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy this delicious appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- If you prefer, substitute deli ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor.
- You can prepare the pinwheels a day ahead and keep them refrigerated until serving.
- For extra zest, add a sprinkle of your favorite spices such as paprika or garlic powder into the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve with a side of dipping sauce like mustard or ranch for added flavor.
