Cream Cheese Pickle Wrap Bites

Instructions:

1. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
2. Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, reaching the edges.
3. Place 2 slices of deli ham over the cream cheese layer.
4. Position one large pickle spear (or two smaller ones) along one edge of the tortilla.
5. Starting from the pickle edge, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking in the ingredients as you go.
6. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Once chilled, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces and arrange on a serving tray. Serve cold.

Variations:

• Keto Style: Skip the tortilla and simply wrap the ham and cream cheese directly around the pickle.
• Spicy Kick: Use jalapeño pickles or mix sriracha into the cream cheese.
• Herbed Version: Add chopped dill, green onions, or chives to the cream cheese for extra flavor.
• Low-Sodium Swap: Use low-sodium ham and pickles to control the salt content.

Tips:

• Pat Pickles Dry: Blot pickles with paper towels before wrapping to prevent soggy bites.
• Room Temperature Cheese: Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth spreading.
• Sharp Knife for Clean Cuts: Use a serrated knife to get neat, uniform rounds.
• Make Ahead: These bites hold up well in the fridge for up to 24 hours, making them perfect for party prep.
