Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

TORTILLAS – Use large burrito tortillas (10 inch). These pinwheels work best with flour instead of corn tortillas.

PICKLES – As the recipe name states, we are using dill pickles. However, if you are more of a fan of sweet pickles, feel free to use those instead! Pickle spears, baby pickles, or regular-sized dill pickles will all work.

HAM – Another element of flavor, ham. It pairs really well with dill pickles. Deli ham will work perfectly in these pinwheels. Feel free to add in an extra slice or two for more flavor and texture, or omit it entirely if you aren’t a fan.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Store dill pickle pinwheels in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best served fresh as the longer they sit, the soggier they become.

Though these are definitely best served the same day, you can prepare these pinwheels a day in advance and store them in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. If you want to prepare them in advance I would suggest doing so the morning of your event. This will give the flavors plenty of time to develop in the fridge but shouldn’t give them enough time to get soggy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these dill pickle pinwheels on a platter with tongs for grabbing. You can also individually secure each pinwheel with a toothpick so it’s quick and easy for your guests to grab. Enjoy chilled.
