A fun, tangy snack featuring crisp pickles and creamy cheese, all wrapped in a soft tortilla – perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick bite.

I first made Pickle-in-a-Blanket for our family game night & everyone loved their zesty, cheesy bite – they disappeared within minutes.

Main: 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch), 4 large dill pickles (whole), 4 slices cheddar cheese (or Swiss), 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese (softened)
Optional Extras: 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp finely diced red onion, 1 tbsp yellow mustard

Prepare Tortillas:: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
Spread Cream Cheese:: Spread 1 oz (about 2 tbsp) of softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla.
Add Cheddar Cheese:: Place a slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla.
Add Extras:: If using, sprinkle chopped dill and red onion over the cheese, and drizzle with mustard.
Wrap Pickles:: Place one whole dill pickle at the edge of each tortilla.
Roll and Slice:: Roll up the tortilla tightly around the pickle, ensuring all filling is enclosed. Slice each roll into 1-inch pieces or serve whole as desired.

This recipe often brings us together for quick afternoon snacks & is a favorite at picnics with our kids.
