Ingredients
Scale
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.
- Place Pickle and Roll: Take one whole dill pickle and align it along one edge of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the pickle, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed and the wrap is secure.
- 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.
Notes
- For a sharper flavor, try using spicy mustard instead of yellow mustard.
- Try using flavored cream cheese for a twist, such as garlic & herb or chive.
- These wraps are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten free.
- For vegetarian options, ensure the cheese slices are vegetarian-friendly.
