I’m going to come right out and say something that might make me unpopular.  Summer is coming to an end and I am very happy about it.  I know this kind of talk is shunned, especially in a state like Michigan, but I can’t help it.  Fall is the best!  Tailgating, cookouts, and enjoying the last few months of warm weather. I am into it!

The ingredients and why they work so well together

These ham and salami cream cheese roll-ups have:

  • Softened cream cheese with spices added in. Mix the cream cheese with garlic powder and seasoning salt.
  • Flour tortillas. Perfect for easily wrapping up the ingredients together.
  • Ham and hard salami. Purchased lunch meat from the deli section.
  • Pickles. Dill pickle spears work best.
  • Colby jack, tomatoes, and green olives. Secure each appetizer with a toothpick and top for an extra flair of presentation.

How to make ham and salami roll-ups step-by-step

First, make sure that your cream cheese has softened some.  If you try and mix the spices it will be too hard and then it can also tear the tortilla when spreading it.  I left mine out for about 30 minutes.

Once softened add your chili powder, garlic & seasoning salt to it.  Mix well.

Lay out all of my tortillas and spread it with cream cheese.

steps for making ham and salami roll ups. cream cheese with herbs. cream cheese spread on tortilla. tortilla topped with salami ham and pickle spear. tortilla rolled up and poked with toothpicks in three places.

Top with 3 pieces of hard salami and 1 slice of ham.

Cut a spear of pickle in half and dab with a paper towel to dry. Add to the edge of the ham slice.

Spear with 3 toothpicks at equal distance and secure.  Cut in even sections. 

Repeat with the other 11 tortillas.

Cube the cheese into pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dispense out enough of the green olives.  You will get 3 roll-ups from each tortilla so make sure you have 36 pieces of cheese, tomatoes, and olives for the garnish.

Add a piece of cheese, tomato, and olive for garnish.

Tips & Variations

  • Make sure to use about 2 tablespoons per tortilla so there is enough for all of the tortillas.
  • So there isn’t pickle juice soaking into the tortillas, use a paper towel to dab the liquid off of the before adding it to the roll-up.
  • Make your own refrigerator dill pickles with this recipe from The Cozy Apron.
