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 for easy spreading. Drain and pat dry the dill pickle spears to prevent sogginess inside the rolls.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Add Seasonings and Pickles: Sprinkle garlic powder over the cream cheese layer according to your taste preference. Add finely chopped fresh chives or green onions if using. Then place the dill pickle spears in a line along one edge of the tortilla.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully and tightly roll the tortilla starting from the edge where the pickles are located, ensuring the roll is compact. Use a little extra cream cheese if necessary to seal the edge and keep the roll intact.
- Slice Into Bite-Sized Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pieces for bite-sized serving. For cleaner, neater slices, refrigerate the roll for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese sufficiently at room temperature for easy spreading without tearing the tortilla.
- Patting the pickles dry is important to avoid watery rolls.
- Refrigerate the rolls before slicing to achieve clean, even pieces.
- Use flour tortillas for best texture; wrap or flatbread may alter the bite.
- Fresh herbs like chives or green onions are optional but add a fresh flavor contrast.
