Pickle Roll Ups are such a fun appetizer made with ham, cream cheese, pickles in a tortilla wrap!

Dill Pickle Rollups - super yummy party food

If you’re here you love pickles as much as I do! This recipe is going to knock your socks off! These tortilla roll ups are out of this world!

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 Pickle Roll Ups:

Pickle Dip Roll-Ups are so easy to make! You do need to make them ahead of time because they need to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Let’s walk through it!

Little Dairy on the Prairie Pro Tip: Use room temperature cream cheese so it will spread easily.

Pickle Roll Ups are a fun appetizer made with ham, cream cheese, and pickles in a tortilla! They're so easy to make and always a hit!

Ingredients
 

  • 6 flour tortillas see note
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup dill pickle relish see note
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 1 cup deli ham

Instructions

How to Make Pickle Roll Ups with Tortillas:

  • Drain liquid from pickle relish. (See note below about using dill pickles)
  • Mix room temperature cream cheese, pickle relish (or diced pickles), chopped ham, grated cheese, and garlic powder together.
  • Microwave tortilla for a few seconds to soften them so they are pliable.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, spreading to the edges.
  • Roll tortillas up tightly and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Remove the roll ups from the fridge and cut into 1 inch wheels.

How to Make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups

  • Drain liquid from pickle relish. (See note below about using dill pickles)
  • Mix room temperature cream cheese, pickle relish (or diced pickles), grated cheese, and garlic powder together.
  • 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.
  • Roll up the ham jelly-roll style. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Cut ham into pinwheels.

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.
Grated Cheese: Any of these varieties will taste great! You can omit the cheese if you want to. Trust me, it’s worth adding!
  • Monterey Jack
  • Pepper Jack
  • Cheddar
  • Swiss
Tortillas:
  • 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.
Pickles:
  • 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.

      Hi Bonnie! I’ve never tried whipped cream cheese in this cheeseball before. I’m guessing it would work just fine. It will likely be a little softer than regular cream cheese, but that wouldn’t hurt anything either! Let me know how it turns out!

    How far in advance would you say you could make these without them going bad? I need to make an app 4 days before serving but am afraid of the tortillas getting too soggy. Can these be frozen? Or same problem?

      Hi Emily! I’m afraid four days might be a little bit early. I’m guessing two days is about all the earlier you’re going to want to make them. I wouldn’t recommend freezing them either because it will alter the texture of the cream cheese. They are so delicious, I hope you can squeeze them into your schedule!

    I’ve made these twice now and they have been devoured both times! They are DELICIOUS! I discovered Deli Dill relish by Mt Olive (bigger chunks, more dill and not as salty) and did a taste test by making 1/2 with regular dill relish and the other 1/2 with the Deli Dill and took them to work…the Deli relish was the winner, although all of them were eaten. Really fantastic recipe. I may try adding thinly sliced salami next time.. Yummo!

    Hi Amy…I just saw your post on Pinterest. It states that it is Gluten Free. This statement is not true (flour tortillas are not Gluten Free) and should be removed.

    These sound so delicious! I think my family would love these for sure – they usually go nuts for any type of wrap or roll style appetizer. Can’t wait to make these at home. Need to find a way to get rid of these dill pickles I have in the fridge! Thank you for sharing!

    I used to hate pickles, but as I got pregnant with my first son I started craving them and I haven’t stopped since. My son is now 18. What is it with Pickle? I need to make those now
