Why this is the Best Pickle Roll Up Recipe:
There is so much to love about this appetizer!
- It’s best made ahead of time, which is a lifesaver when you’re hosting a party!
- Make them in minutes with my shortcuts!
- Keto options to keep it healthy!
- So yummy!
Pickle Wrap Ingredients:
These are simple ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. I’ll give you some options for substituting too….just in case!
- Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best. Make sure they’re fresh so they’ll roll easily. Try low-carb tortillas if you’d like.
- Ham: Replace tortilla with ham to keep it completely gluten-free and keto-friendly. You can also use dried beef if you’d like.
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat. Reduced-fat has extra water in it and will make the rollups soggy.
- Dill Pickle Relish: An easy shortcut. If you don’t have it chop pickles.
- Grated Cheese: Cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, etc.
- Garlic Powder

How to Make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups

- Blot the ham dry so the cream cheese mixture will stick to it. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the ham slices. You may need more ham one cup of ham to make the wraps this way.

Notes
Ham:
- To make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups you’ll need more ham. Leave it in whole slices. Use ham slices that are about 1/16 an inch thick so they’ll roll up nicely.
- To make Pickle Roll Ups with tortillas finely dice the ham.
- Monterey Jack
- Pepper Jack
- Cheddar
- Swiss
- Any size tortilla can be used. You’ll need more or less depending on the size of tortillas. I usually use taco-sized flour tortillas and use between 4 and 6.
- Be sure to drain pickle relish in a strainer to remove the liquid. If it’s not drained the pinwheels will get soggy.
- You can use jarred dill pickles. Chop them into small pieces. Dry off with a paper towel.

Can garlic powder be subbed for garlic paste? If so how much would be recommended? Thanks!
Amy Engberson says
Since garlic powder is so much more concentrated you’ll only need a little bit. It’s actually 1/16th of a teaspoon, so I’d just add a dash! I can’t wait for you to try it!
Emily says

Lynn says
If you minced up a few slices of deli ham and mixed that in too, it’d be like the pickle spears wrapped in cream cheese and ham but easier to eat. Might be worth a try.
Amy Engberson says
Great idea! I bet that would be a scrumptious addition! I need to try that ASAP!
