Ingredients
Scale
Pinwheel 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 these aside for mixing.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced ham and pickle pieces until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch margin around the edges. Roll each tortilla up tightly to form a log.
- Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one hour. This chilling step helps the pinwheels hold together when sliced.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the rolled tortillas from the refrigerator. Slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick rounds. Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful, creamy pinwheels as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Choose dill pickle spears with a crunchy texture to add contrast to the creamy filling.
- These pinwheels can be prepared a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to substitute deli ham with turkey or chicken if preferred.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor combination.
