Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 450 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 250 g thinly sliced deli ham or roast beef About 20 slices
  • 20-24 whole whole dill pickles, patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and black pepper
Optional Add-Ins
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Mixed into the cream cheese
  • 50 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • a pinch red pepper flakes For heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Soften the cream cheese by taking it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before starting or microwaving it in 10-second bursts until spreadable.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with garlic powder, dried dill, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and warm it in the microwave for about 10 seconds if it's stiff.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese on the tortilla, leaving a half-inch margin at one edge.
  5. Layer 2-3 slices of deli meat over the cream cheese evenly.
  6. Place a whole dill pickle at the edge closest to you, patting it dry first.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from the edge where the pickle is placed, applying gentle pressure.
  8. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Serving
  1. Slice the chilled rolls into rounds about 2.5 to 3cm thick using a sharp knife and arrange them on a serving platter.

Notes

Always dry your pickles thoroughly before adding them to prevent soggy rolls. For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and chill rolls before slicing.
