This appetizer is so common where I live it's sometimes jokingly called "Iowa Sushi." I had never tried it with the either genoa salami or okra pickles, but now that's must! Also, some people prefer to use thinly-sliced corned beef lunchmeat instead of ham.

I also found that the vegetable cream cheese by Philadelphia is amazing for this recipe instead of the cream cheese mixed with horseradish.The wraps can also be wrapped up in tortilla shells which tastes great too! Awesome recipe!!
