Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Printable)

Soft tortillas rolled with Italian meats, cheeses, and peppers make vibrant crowd-pleasing bites.

# What You 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 well combined and smooth.
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 a single layer.
04 - Sprinkle the roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and red onion over the protein and cheese layer, distributing evenly.
05 - Tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log, starting from one edge and rolling firmly toward the opposite edge. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm the structure and make slicing cleaner and easier.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut each chilled roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled with dressing for dipping if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can prep them while everything else is still being decided on.
  • No cooking required, so your kitchen stays cool and you avoid any last-minute stress about timing.
  • They're the kind of appetizer that looks impressive without requiring fancy skills or obscure ingredients.
  • You can make them hours ahead and just slice when guests arrive, keeping your hands free for actually enjoying the party.
02 -
  • Drain your peppers thoroughly or your pinwheels will get waterlogged and sad by the time anyone eats them, which is the opposite of what you want.
  • Pat your lettuce dry with a paper towel before adding it, because that one step is the difference between crispy, appealing slices and a soggy mess that nobody wants to bite into.
03 -
  • Buy your deli meats from the actual deli counter and ask them to slice everything thin, because pre-packaged meats are thicker and won't roll as smoothly.
  • Roll these things as tightly as you can without tearing the tortilla because a loose roll will fall apart when you slice it, and nobody wants pinwheel confetti on their plate.
