Jalapeno Pickle Roll Ups Recipe

These Jalapeño Pickle Roll Ups are my go-to snack when I need something quick, flavorful, and a little spicy to impress guests or just treat myself. The creamy, tangy filling paired with the kick from the jalapeños and savory deli meats makes each bite a delightful explosion of taste.

I adore the strong, punchy flavors of these Jalapeño Pickle Roll Ups! They are the perfect zesty appetizer or party snack.

My version balances the finely chopped, super zippy jalapeños with the cooling, creamy goodness of softened cream cheese. I wrapped it all up in a not-too-thick, big-floured tortilla, along with deli ham, hard salami, and a touch of dill pickle relish.

This is crunchy heaven with savory notes, rounded out by a hint of garlic and a dash of onion powder. Also, did I mention that these are low-carb?

You can eat these as an afternoon snack and still fit into your skinny jeans. I prefer to eat them chilled; the flavors are even more intense that way.

How to Make this Jalapeno Pickle Roll Ups Recipe

1. Combine cream cheese, finely chopped pickled jalapeños, dill pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl; mix everything together until well combined and there are no visible streaks of cream cheese in the mixture.

2. Level a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of cream cheese mixture in a thin, uniform fashion across the whole tortilla.

3. Cover the cream cheese layer with 2 slices of deli ham and then 2 slices of hard salami, making sure the meats are evenly distributed on the tortilla.

4. Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, making sure it is compact and snug.

5. Follow steps 2-4 for each of the other tortillas to make eight total rolls.

6. After rolling all the tortillas, tightly wrap each one in plastic wrap to help hold its shape.

7. Chill the bundled rolls in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until firm. This step will make cutting them easier and keep their shape.

8. Take the rolls out of the fridge and unwrap the plastic. Using a knife with a good edge, cut the rolls into 1-inch-thick slices.

9. Place the slices in an eye-catching manner on a serving platter, with their bright, swirly colors facing up.

10. Serve at once or return to the refrigerator until you are prepared to serve. Enjoy your delightful Jalapeño Pickle Roll Ups as an appetizer or snack.

FAQ

• How long can these roll-ups be stored?Keep them stored in a sealed container in the cold for no longer than 3 days. They are tastiest when served straightaway.
• Can I substitute other deli meats?Of course! You can use turkey, roast beef, or any other favorite deli meats that tickle your taste buds.

  Feel free to swap them in to suit your personal sandwiches!

• Is there a vegetarian alternative?Of course! You can leave out the meats from the deli and then load up with all kinds of veggies for a meatless version, from roasted bell peppers to cucumbers.
• What if I don’t have dill pickle relish?Chop dill pickles finely to use as a substitute for dill pickle relish.

Pro Tips

1. Chill the Filling: Before spreading the cream cheese mixture on your tortillas, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This will help it firm up slightly and make it easier to spread evenly without tearing the tortillas.
