Save 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 these Pickle-in-a-Blanket snacks for a picnic with friends. Everyone loved the crunchy pickles paired with creamy cheese, and they disappeared within minutes!
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas:
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
- Add cream cheese:
- Spread 1 oz (about 2 tbsp) of softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla.
- Layer cheese:
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla.
- Add extras (optional):
- If using, sprinkle chopped dill and red onion over the cheese, and drizzle with mustard.
- Add pickles:
- Place one whole dill pickle at the edge of each tortilla.

- 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.
Save My kids helped with rolling the tortillas and loved picking out their own add-ins. These have quickly become a favorite for our family movie nights!
