Ingredients
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch each)
- 4 whole large dill pickles
Filling Ingredients
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Arrange the 4 large flour tortillas flat on a clean cutting board, making sure they lay smooth and ready for filling.
- Apply Cream Cheese: Using a spreading knife, evenly spread about 1 ounce (approximately 2 tablespoons) of softened cream cheese over each tortilla, covering most of the surface to help the other ingredients stick and add flavor.
- Add a Cheese Layer: Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese in the center of each cream cheese-covered tortilla, creating a creamy and melty layer that complements the pickle.
- Incorporate Extras: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and finely diced red onion evenly over the cheese layer on each tortilla for added freshness and crunch, then drizzle with a tablespoon of yellow mustard to add a tangy kick.

- Slice or Serve Whole: Use a sharp knife to cut each tortilla roll into 1-inch bite-sized pieces for easy snacking, or serve the wraps whole depending on your preference.
