Ingredients
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill weed finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 ounces (113g) dill pickles dried with paper towel and diced into small chunks
- 6 -7 ounces (170-198g) deli ham cut into small bits
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill weed, and garlic powder. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it over each one. Sprinkle the diced dill pickles and ham evenly over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, wrap them securely in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the tortillas and slice them into 1 to 1½-inch thick pinwheels.

Notes
- This recipe makes about 24 pieces (using 3 tortillas cut into 8 pieces each). For thicker rounds, you'll end up with fewer pieces.
- Make sure your cream cheese is well-softened for easy spreading and a smooth texture.
- Avoid overstuffing your pinwheels to make rolling and slicing easier and prevent the fillings from spilling out.
- Other ingredients to consider include turkey, roast beef, or even shredded chicken if you want to add some protein.
- Spices like onion powder or smoked paprika can add extra flavor. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can also enhance the taste.
- Swap out cream cheese for a flavored cheese spread, or use Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
- Skip watery veggies like tomatoes to prevent soggy pinwheels. Stick to firmer options like bell peppers or cucumbers.
- You can prepare these a day in advance, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to slice and serve.
- Add festive touches like cherry tomato "ornaments" and sprigs of fresh parsley or dill for "needles." Plus, you can prepare them the day before, making holiday entertaining a breeze.
- Storage – keep the uncut roll ups in plastic wrap inside the fridge for up to 1 day before slicing and serving.
- There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
