Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 46 dill or bread-and-butter pickles, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 large tortilla wraps or flatbreads

Optional Seasonings & Extras

  • Pinch of garlic powder or chopped chives
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill sprigs for garnish

Variation Ingredients (Optional)

  • Sriracha or hot sauce (for a spicy twist)
  • Chopped fresh herbs (dill, basil, or chives) mixed into cream cheese
  • Thinly sliced bell peppers or cucumbers (for extra crunch)
  • Gluten-free wraps or nori sheets (for gluten-free version)
  • Smoked paprika or smoked cream cheese (for smoky flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to achieve a smooth, spreadable texture. Slice the pickles into thin strips to ensure easy rolling and the perfect crunchy bite.
  2. Spread the cream cheese: Lay out a tortilla wrap on a flat surface. Evenly spread the softened cream cheese over the entire wrap surface, leaving about half an inch clear around the edges.
  3. Add the pickles: Arrange the pickle strips lengthwise across the cream cheese layer, spacing them evenly so each bite contains tangy crunch.
  4. Roll it up tightly: Start rolling from one edge, pressing firmly as you go to form a compact roll that stays together and is easy to slice.
  5. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Arrange on a plate and enjoy immediately or chill briefly before serving for firmer slices.

Notes

  • Soft cream cheese is key for easy spreading and to avoid tearing the wrap.
  • Slice pickles thinly to maintain balance and make rolling easier.
  • Press rolls firmly to keep fillings tight and slices neat.
  • Chill rolls for 10-15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts and firmer texture.
  • Use a sharp knife to prevent squashing the rolls when slicing.
