Ingredients
- Dill pickles, sliced lengthwise into spears (3 inches long)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup or 28g per wrap)
- Medium-sized (8-inch) flour tortillas
- Cream cheese, softened (about 2 tablespoons)
- Garlic powder, a pinch
- Onion powder, optional pinch
- Butter or oil for frying (1-2 tablespoons)
- Optional extras: chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley, smoked paprika, spicy mustard, cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with garlic powder and onion powder until smooth.
- Slice dill pickles lengthwise into spears about 3 inches long.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a generous handful (about 1/4 cup or 28g) of shredded cheddar evenly over the cream cheese.
- Place 3-4 pickle spears near one edge of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly around the pickles, tucking in the ends to prevent filling from spilling out.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula until golden brown and crispy and cheese is melted.
- Transfer wraps to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and let cool for a minute or two before serving.
Notes
Use medium heat to allow cheese to melt slowly while tortilla crisps. Lower heat if wraps brown too quickly. Spread cream cheese evenly and avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Let wraps rest a few seconds after rolling for better shape. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas. For vegan, use dairy-free cheese and cream cheese alternatives. Can bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes as an alternative to frying.
