Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Printable Version)

Soft tortillas rolled with ham, salami, provolone, and fresh veggies make a flavorful Italian-inspired snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 large flour tortillas, burrito size

→ Meats

02 - 4 oz thinly sliced deli ham
03 - 4 oz thinly sliced Genoa salami
04 - 4 oz thinly sliced pepperoni

→ Cheeses

05 - 4 oz provolone cheese, thinly sliced

→ Vegetables & Condiments

06 - 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
07 - 1/2 cup banana pepper rings, drained and chopped
08 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
09 - 1/4 cup sliced red onion

→ Dressing

10 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
11 - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
12 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
13 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
14 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
02 - Lay out a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread a thin, even layer of dressing over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all edges.
03 - Distribute one-quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly across the dressed tortilla in overlapping layers.
04 - Sprinkle the roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and red onion evenly over the meat and cheese layers.
05 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log, keeping the filling snug. Repeat this process with the remaining three tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step makes the rolls easier to slice cleanly and improves texture.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut each chilled roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look impressive enough to make you feel like a kitchen genius, but they take only 15 minutes of actual work.
  • Unlike most appetizers, these don't require heating or timing—just slicing and arranging, which means less stress when guests arrive.
  • The flavors are bold and familiar without being boring, so they work for picky eaters and food lovers alike.
02 -
  • Moisture is your enemy—pat everything dry before assembly, especially the roasted peppers and banana peppers, or you'll end up with soggy, falling-apart pinwheels.
  • Chilling really does matter; it's not just a suggestion because it gives the roll time to set and makes slicing infinitely easier without squishing the filling.
03 -
  • Slice with confidence using a sharp serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion—tentative cutting leads to squished pinwheels that fall apart.
  • If you want to serve these hours ahead of time, store the sliced pinwheels in a single layer on a platter covered loosely with plastic wrap, and they'll stay fresh and crisp in the fridge all day.
