Ingredient Notes
Dill pickle rollups are made with 4 simple ingredients…
- Flour Tortillas – You can use regular flour tortillas or gluten-free tortillas. Or you can use no tortillas at all, and just wrap everything up in the ham.
- Cream Cheese – I recommend a full fat cream cheese, just regular ole Philadelphia cream cheese works great. The creamier, the better. You can also use a flavored cream cheese like chive and onion cream cheese; or add a bit of Ranch dressing or horseradish to give it a little kick.
- Dill Pickles – You can also substitute sweet pickles or bread ‘n' butter pickles.
- Deli Ham – I prefer to use honey ham because I think it's the best ham for pickle roll ups; but you can also use smoked ham or Black Forest ham. If you don't like ham, try shaved turkey, roast beef, or chicken.
- Other Options – You can add cheddar cheese; smoked cheese would be delicious. I like to also sprinkle green onions in our dill pickle ham roll ups.

How to Make Dill Pickle Ham Roll Ups

- Place the pinwheels on a serving platter, and serve.
Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ's
Tip: Be sure to dry your pickles with a clean kitchen towel (or paper towel) before adding to the rollups; that way, you don't do like me and have a big puddle of pickle juice that will likely make your pickle wraps soggy.
Yes, you most certainly can. You can make these up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the fridge 'til ready to serve. However, I recommend you wait to slice them right before serving.
Place leftovers in an airtight container, and store in the fridge. They should keep for about 3-4 days.
