Pickle Dip Pinwheels (Printable)
Cream cheese and dill pickle filling rolled into tortillas, chilled and sliced into bite-sized pinwheels.
# What You'll Need:
→ Creamy Filling
01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 1/2 cup sour cream
03 - 1 cup chopped dill pickles
04 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or 2 tablespoons dried dill
05 - 1/4 cup chopped green onions
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Assembly
09 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
# Method:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with sour cream until the mixture is completely smooth and evenly blended.
02 - Fold in the chopped dill pickles, fresh or dried dill, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Arrange one tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly spread a generous layer of the pickle filling mixture over the entire tortilla using a spatula.
04 - Roll the tortilla up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easy, clean slicing.
06 - Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into 6 uniform pinwheels using a sharp knife.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve chilled.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- These pinwheels pack big, bold flavors in little, effortless bites (and you can prep them hours ahead).
- They completely disappear at parties, which might mean you’ll have to stash a couple for yourself in the back of the fridge.
02 -
- Once I tried using cold cream cheese and immediately regretted it — room temperature is a must for that dreamy texture.
- Letting the rolls chill for a full hour isn’t negotiable unless you enjoy messy, squished pinwheels (don’t ask how I know).
03 -
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning before rolling up — pickles can vary in saltiness.
- A serrated knife is your secret weapon for making perfect, photo-worthy rounds.
