Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4–6 dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
- 4 large flour tortillas (or wraps)
Seasonings
- 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. Drain and pat dry the pickles to keep them crisp inside the rolls.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface.
- Add Seasonings and Pickles: Sprinkle garlic powder over the cream cheese. Add chopped chives or green onions if using. Place the dill pickle spears in a line along one edge of the tortilla.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from the edge with the pickles, sealing the edge with a little extra cream cheese if necessary to keep it closed.
- Slice Into Bite-Sized Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch pieces. For cleaner slices, refrigerate the roll for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese makes it easier to spread evenly.
- Patting the pickles dry ensures the rolls don’t become soggy.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps if desired.
- These rolls can be refrigerated for a few hours before serving but are best eaten fresh.
- Add a sprinkle of black pepper or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
