How to Make Salami Cream Cheese Pickle Tacos
Wash and dry the mini dill pickles. Spread cream cheese in the middle of the salami, then press the pickle inside.
Fold a slice of salami and place it into the pickle so it resembles a taco.
Drizzle each pickle taco with hot honey.
Finish with a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning.
Serve immediately while the pickles are crisp and cold.
Pro Tips for Pickle Tacos
- Pat the pickles dry with paper towels before assembling. This helps the cream cheese stick better.
- Use whipped cream cheese for the smoothest texture and easiest spreading.
- Choose thin slices of salami so they fold neatly inside the pickles.
- Do not overfill the pickles. A little cream cheese goes a long way.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
- Serve immediately after assembling for the best crunch.
- Try adding sliced jalapeños if you enjoy extra spice.
Storage
These pickle tacos are best enjoyed fresh.
If you need to prepare them ahead of time, assemble the pickles with the cream cheese and salami, then refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
Wait to drizzle the hot honey and sprinkle the Everything Bagel seasoning until just before serving. This helps keep the pickles crisp and prevents the seasoning from becoming soggy.
Serving Suggestions
These pickle tacos make a fun addition to any appetizer spread.
Serve them alongside fresh vegetables and ranch dip for an easy snack platter.
Pair them with potato chips or kettle chips for extra crunch.
They also make a great addition to charcuterie boards with cheese cubes, crackers, olives, and fresh fruit.
For parties, arrange the pickle tacos on a serving tray and drizzle the hot honey just before guests arrive.
You can also make a variety by using pepperoni, turkey, ham, or roast beef in place of the salami.
