Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup dill pickles finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh dill optional
Instructions
- Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add sour cream and ranch seasoning. Mix slowly until smooth and creamy, making sure no lumps remain.
- Add finely chopped dill pickles. If pickles are very moist, pat them dry before adding. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and fresh dill. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Ensure they are soft and easy to roll.
- Spread the pickle mixture evenly over each tortilla using a spatula. Leave a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during rolling.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Apply gentle pressure to keep the roll firm and even.
- Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least one hour to allow the filling to set properly.
- Remove from refrigerator and unwrap. Place on a cutting board and slice into one-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts if needed.
- Arrange on a serving plate and serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Dry pickles slightly before mixing to avoid excess moisture
- Chill longer for firmer and cleaner slices
- Do not overfill tortillas to keep rolls neat
- Best served chilled for the best texture
