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 a backyard picnic, and it quickly became a family favorite thanks to its satisfying crunch and creamy filling.

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 the 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 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.
Add pickle:: Place one whole dill pickle at the edge of each tortilla.
Roll up:: Roll up the tortilla tightly around the pickle, ensuring all filling is enclosed.
Slice or serve:: Slice each roll into 1-inch pieces or serve whole as desired.

Slicing these rolls together always gets everyone involved, and my kids love helping me assemble them for movie night snacking.

Serve chilled for the best texture, and pair with crunchy potato chips or fresh veggies for an easy appetizer platter.
