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, ensuring it spreads easily. Drain and pat dry the pickle spears to prevent sogginess inside the rolls.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface and spread a generous, even layer of the softened cream cheese over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Add Seasonings and Pickles: Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over the cream cheese. Add the finely chopped fresh chives or green onions if using. Then, place the drained pickle spears in a line along one edge of the tortilla.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge with the pickles, ensuring the roll is secure. Use a little extra cream cheese as a sealant if needed to keep the roll closed.
- Slice Into Bite-Sized Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch pieces. For cleaner and easier slicing, refrigerate the rolled tortilla for about 15 minutes before cutting.
Notes
- Chilling before slicing helps the rolls hold their shape and makes cutting easier.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps if desired.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices to customize flavor.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
- Keep leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
