Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4–6 dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
- 4 large flour tortillas (or wraps)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Leave the cream cheese at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, making it easier to spread. Drain and pat dry the pickle spears to keep them crisp inside the rolls.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Add Seasonings and Pickles: Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the cream cheese. If using, scatter the finely chopped fresh chives or green onions on top. Place the dill pickle spears in a single line along one edge of the tortilla.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge with the pickles to the opposite side. To seal the roll, use a small amount of cream cheese at the end edge as a glue to prevent it from unrolling.
- Slice Into Bite-Sized Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pieces. For cleaner slices and easier handling, refrigerate the roll for about 15 minutes before slicing if desired.
Notes
- For crispier pickles, ensure they are well-drained and patted dry before assembling.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps for dietary needs.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Add a dash of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes to the cream cheese for a spicy kick.
- If cream cheese is too firm, soften it longer at room temperature for easier spreading.
