Assembly
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ranch cream cheese, shredded cheese and chives. Spread 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture into even layers on each tortilla.
- Sprinkle each tortilla with ham and diced pickle. Roll each tortilla tight to make sure the cream cheese binds the tortillas together.
- Place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until fully chilled. Cut into 1/2-inch wheels and serve.
Notes
- Store pinwheels refrigerated and consume within 2 days to maintain best texture and flavor.
- Chilling rolled tortillas before slicing helps the pinwheels hold their shape.
- Diced dill pickles add a tangy crunch that balances the richness of the cream cheese and ham.
