Jalapeno Pickle Roll-Ups

March 10, 2018 by Tino Marie Leave a Comment

Jalapeno Pickle Roll-Ups offers a spicy twist to your average pickle roll-up with the addition of pickled jalapenos.

If you’re a Minnesotan (or fellow Midwestern neighbor), you already know. You’ve eaten dozens of these things, and you LOVE them (at least I hope you do).

The Pickle Roll-Up. Or maybe you know it by the pickle wrap, the pickle dog, or my personal favorite, Minnesota sushi! Spread deli meat with cream cheese, plunk a pickle in the middle, wrap it up, and there you have it. Simple, humble, delicious. A tacky, tongue-in-cheek nod to actual sushi (maybe… probably?).

Jalapeno Pickle Roll-ups

That’s a Midwestern home cook for you though. Take a few humble ingredients, put ‘em together, and transform it into something weirdly delicious.

I love the weirdly delicious Pickle Roll-Up. Even though they cost like $7 bucks at the Minnesota State Fair (where they call ‘em pickle dogs), I always get one. The tart vinegary-ness of the pickle against the cool, rich cream cheese, neatly wrapped up in pastrami is inexplicably refreshing when you’ve been eating fried food all day.

But it should go without saying that Pickle Roll-Ups are good any day. Like days like today. When it’s mid-March and you’re ready for the snow to melt so you can ditch the clunky boots and shed some layers.

Get Zesty

I decided to spice things up a bit, by adding pickled jalapenos to the traditional recipe to create Jalapeno Pickle Roll-ups. Literally, 4 ingredients to achieve spicy pickle roll-up greatness.

Since there are so few ingredients, I encourage you to use the best quality you can find for each. I’m all about Claussen pickles, Philadelphia cream cheese, and freshly sliced deli pastrami.

As for the pickled jalapenos, I’m obsessed with the San Marcos brand (as an Amazon Associate, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases). What separates these from your standard pickled jalapeno is the canola oil they add to the mix. It gives the jalapeno juice a slightly oily quality that pairs beautifully with the cream cheese. Also, it makes a great homemade vinaigrette base.

If you crave spicy foods like I do, I know you’ll love these Jalapeno Pickle Roll-ups. Just look at ’em. Weirdly delicious. 100%.

Prep Time 12 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 8 spears Claussen pickles
  • 8 slices deli-sliced pastrami*
  • 1 8 ounce package Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 2 pickled jalapenos
  • 3 tsp pickled jalapeno juice

Instructions
 

  • Add softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl.
  • Lay 8 pickle spears on paper towels to remove excess liquid.
  • Add 2 whole pickled jalapenos and 3 teaspoons of the pickling liquid and to a food processor. Process for around 20-30 seconds, until pretty much pulverized.
  • Add the pulverized jalapenos to the cream cheese.
  • Mix until well incorporated. A hand mixer can be your friend here, getting you a light, creamy, and wonderfully spreadable texture with minimal effort. Or if it’s arm day, use a fork to mix.
  • Lay out a slice of pastrami onto a cutting board. Spread a generous tablespoon of the jalapeno cream cheese mixture onto the pastrami(it’s okay to leave a bit of the edges unslathered, your goal is to focus on getting an even layer in the center).
  • Place one pickle spear in the center. Wrap one edge of the deli meat over the pickle and continue rolling until you can’t roll anymore.
  • Place your Jalapeno Pickle Roll Up in a container, seam side down. Repeat until you’ve used up all of the cream cheese.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours, so the cream cheese has a chance to firm up.

Notes

*I like the pepperiness of pastrami for this recipe, but you can also use ham or any other deli meat you’d like.
If you would like, you can cut up each pickle roll into ½ inch coins. But I prefer to leave mine whole. I mean, not like I’m not gonna eat the equivalent of a whole one anyways so….. snack away!

Buffalo Pickle Dip

Buffalo Pickle Dip

Buffalo Pickle Dip is creamy, tangy, tart, and hits those taste buds with some familiar heat from Frank’s Red Hot sauce.  I’m admittedly late to the pickle dip party. I discovered that pickle dip was a thing a few months ago, and am now a full-blown addict. Every time I make pickle dip I try…

Chipotle and Roasted Garlic Mayo

Chipotle and roasted garlic mayo

I DISLIKE MAYO. There. I said it. Which is weird, right? Minnesotans put mayo on and in everything (it seems). Preparing a salad is almost unfathomable without it…. It’s just that… I find the flavor and texture offensive. It’s unpleasantly gloopy and greasy, like cheap hair product.   And it’s what immediately comes to mind…

Jalapeno Popper Creamed Kale

Your kale-hating friends won’t hate this Jalapeno Popper Creamed Kale, with its jalapeno heat and cream cheese-y goodness. Top with breadcrumbs or bacon pieces if you want to really shut up the haters. I have a very special announcement to make: I figured out how to make kale palatable to the kale-haters. 

Spicy Pico de Gallo

spicy pico de gallo

Homemade pico de gallo made with fresh, homegrown tomatoes is a seasonal guilty pleasure. I spice my pico de gallo up by benching green bell peppers and putting in serrano or jalapeno peppers.  One of my favorite parts of summer in Minnesota is ALL OF THE FRESH TOMATOES. It truly is like Christmas in July.

The oft-obligatory appearance of watermelon at picnics will become one that is repeatedly requested by guests when you show up with this jazzy Spicy Watermelon Feta Salad.  Watermelon is one of those fruits that makes the obligatory appearance at summertime gatherings. No doubt it’s great for pairing with grilled goods like hamburgers and brats, providing…
