Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 slices deli ham (or turkey)
Cheese and Base:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Flavor Enhancers and Chopped Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) dill pickles, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Additional Wrap Ingredient:
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
Instructions
- Craft a zesty spread by blending softened cream cheese with finely diced pickles, introducing garlic and onion powder, then seasoning with a hint of black pepper until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Unfurl the tortillas and meticulously distribute the pickle-infused cream cheese mixture across the surface, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Layer delicate slices of ham strategically atop the spread, positioning them to maximize flavor distribution and coverage.
- Execute a precise, tight roll, transforming the tortilla into a compact cylinder, pressing gently to secure the filling within.
- Encase the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap, creating a snug protective layer that will help maintain its shape and allow flavors to meld.
- Nestle the wrapped pinwheels in the refrigerator, allowing them to chill and solidify for a minimum of 30 minutes, which enhances their structural integrity.
- Once sufficiently chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into elegant, bite-sized pinwheels approximately one inch thick.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter, presenting them immediately to capture their peak freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose crisp, high-quality dill pickles for maximum flavor and crunch in your pinwheel filling.
- Drain pickles thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the cream cheese mixture runny.
- Experiment with different tortilla types like spinach or sundried tomato for added visual appeal and subtle flavor variations.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream cheese and lean turkey ham to reduce overall calorie content while maintaining delicious taste.
