Tasty Pickle Dip Roll-Ups

Pickle Dip Roll Ups are a fun and flavorful way to enjoy the classic pickle dip in a convenient handheld form. These roll ups are creamy with a tangy crunch from the dill pickles, combined with savory ham for a satisfying bite. They come together quickly and are great for snacking, parties, or a simple lunch option.

I first made these for a family game night and they disappeared so fast that they instantly became a go to snack whenever we get together

Ingredients

• Cream cheese softened: provides the creamy base and helps bind everything together choose full fat for best flavor and texture
• Coarsely chopped dill pickle spears: add the classic pickle tang and crunch, pick plump and firm spears for optimal bite
• Chopped fully cooked ham: adds a salty meatiness that complements the pickles well quality deli ham works great here
• Onion powder: for a subtle flavor boost without overpowering the other ingredients
• Ground pepper: adds just a hint of spice to brighten the mixture
• Taco sized flour tortillas: these provide a soft and sturdy wrap, look for fresh tortillas that will roll easily without cracking

Instructions

Spoon and fold:

Combine the softened cream cheese, onion powder, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir just enough to blend the spices evenly through the cheese. Add the chopped dill pickles and ham and fold everything together gently until well combined but still chunky

Spread the filling:

Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture among the 7 flour tortillas. Using a spatula or knife, spread the mixture into an even layer, leaving about half an inch of the edge clear. This helps seal the roll up and prevents filling from oozing out

Tightly roll:

Wrap each tortilla carefully into a tight roll starting from the edge with the filling. Press gently as you roll to keep everything snug and compact

Chill for firm slices:

Place the wrapped roll ups in plastic wrap or a covered plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step is important because it firms up the cream cheese mixture and helps the roll keep its shape when sliced

Slice and serve:

Remove the roll ups from the fridge and unwrap each one. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1 inch thick rounds. Serrated knives cut cleanly through the roll without squishing the filling

My favorite ingredient here is definitely the dill pickles. Their tangy crunch really makes the roll ups pop. I remember my kids’ faces lighting up the first time I made them because it’s a unique way to enjoy a flavor they love. Now it’s a favorite at every party and picnic we attend.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the fridge. Because the roll ups contain cream cheese and fresh pickles, they keep best within 3 days. The tortillas will soften over time, so for the best texture, enjoy within the first day or two

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap out the diced ham for cooked chicken or turkey breast for a different protein option. Use Greek yogurt mixed with cream cheese if you want a lighter filling with a bit of tang. Try rye or spinach tortillas for a flavor twist, just ensure theyre flexible enough to roll without cracking

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled as an appetizer or party snack with some crisp lettuce or sliced fresh veggies on the side. Pair with a cold beer or a crisp white wine for game day or casual entertaining. Add a dollop of mustard or horseradish on the side for an extra kick if you like a bit of spice

These pickle dip roll ups are easy to make ahead and perfect for parties and picnics. Chill before slicing for the cleanest presentation.
