Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Printable Version)

Soft tortillas rolled with meats, cheeses, and vibrant veggies for flavorful bites at any event.

# 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

# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until 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 the edges.
03 - Distribute a 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 evenly over the meat and cheese layer.
05 - Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other into a compact log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This makes slicing cleaner and easier.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking involved—perfect when your oven is already full or you want something cold on a hot day.
  • They taste fancy enough to impress but require less effort than most people expect.
  • Make them hours ahead and they only get better as flavors meld in the fridge.
02 -
  • Soggy pinwheels are the enemy—pat those peppers completely dry before adding them, and keep lettuce refrigerated until the last moment.
  • Chilling is not optional if you want pretty spirals; cold filling holds its shape when you slice, warm filling just falls apart.
03 -
  • Ask your deli counter to slice everything paper-thin—most people won't tell you this matters, but it's the difference between rolling smoothly and wrestling with thick, stiff tortillas.
  • If you have trouble rolling without tearing, briefly warm your tortillas in a dry skillet first—they become more pliable and forgiving.
