My favorite part is the way the dill and pickle juice mingle with the creamy base I remember making these for my sisters birthday picnic and watching everyone debate which bite had the most pickle crunch It is always a memory maker

Assemble the wraps and refrigerate uncut, then slice and pan-sear just before serving to maintain crispness and flavor.

Use dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt, and skip the cheddar cheese for a vegan variation that's just as flavorful.

Yes, any soft tortilla will work. Spinach or herb tortillas highlight the green color, but plain flour or gluten-free versions are also suitable.
