Pickle Roll Ups with Ham (Pinwheels)
Easy to make and popular with most everyone, pickle roll ups (pinwheels) are a failproof appetizer. Pickle roll ups with ham are perfect for lunchboxes, too.
Servings: 20 (2 roll ups each)
Ingredients
- 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened (or full fat cream cheese, if you prefer)

- Slice into 1 -inch pinwheels to serve.
Notes
- Gluten-free: Skip the tortilla and make ham pinwheels. Simply spread the cream cheese on ham slices (make sure you buy fairly thick slices so you can roll it), add the pickle and roll it up. Chill and slice. Alternatively, you can buy gluten-free wraps.
- Use flavored cream cheese. You can also flavor it yourself with a teaspoon of horseradish or hot sauce. Add chopped herbs such as parsley or dill to the cream cheese. Go southwestern by adding taco seasoning to the cream cheese, mixing in black beans, and sprinkling Monterey Jack cheese on the cream cheese.
- More flavor add-ins: Mix chopped olives or sliced green onion with the cream cheese before spreading it, or sprinkle them on after spreading the cream cheese.
- Alternative stuffings: Instead of making the pinwheels with dill pickles, try sweet pickles, roasted red pepper strips, pickled asparagus spears, a fresh cucumber spear, baby spinach, or a green onion (scallion).
- Try different tortillas. Use whole wheat tortillas, spinach or tomato flavored wraps instead of flour tortillas.
