Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1/2 pound deli ham
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Creamy Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
Seasoning and Extras:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
- 4 tortilla shells (8 inches in size)
Instructions
- Whip softened cream cheese and garlic powder in a large bowl using a handheld mixer until light and airy. The mixture should achieve a fluffy, smooth consistency that spreads effortlessly.
- Fold in shredded cheddar and pickle relish, stirring until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese base.
- Arrange tortillas on a clean work surface and spread the cream cheese mixture edge to edge, creating a uniform layer that ensures maximum flavor in each bite.
- Layer ham slices across the tortillas, positioning them carefully to cover the entire cream cheese surface with even coverage.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, applying gentle pressure to maintain the filling’s integrity without pushing it out of the sides.
- Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap, twisting the ends securely to create a compact cylindrical shape.
- Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the filling to set and flavors to meld together.
- Remove rolls from refrigerator and unwrap carefully. Trim uneven edges using a sharp knife for a clean presentation.
- Slice each roll into 8 bite-sized pieces, arranging them attractively on a serving platter for an appealing visual display.
Notes
- Cream cheese whipping technique matters most for smooth, spreadable consistency that makes rolling easier and more enjoyable.
- Tortilla spreading requires gentle, even pressure to ensure filling reaches every edge without tearing delicate wrap.
- Refrigeration isn’t just about chilling – it helps ingredients meld together and allows roll-ups to set firmly for clean, precise slicing.
- distribute evenly to guarantee balanced flavor in every single bite without overwhelming any section.
