Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Print Version)

Soft tortillas layered with Italian meats, cheeses, and crisp veggies, rolled and chilled for easy serving.

# 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

# Step-by-Step:

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 and spread a thin layer of dressing evenly across the tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
03 - Distribute a quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the dressing 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 into a compact log from one end to the other. Repeat the dressing, layering, and rolling process with the remaining three tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm the filling and make slicing cleaner and easier.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each chilled roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled with optional extra dressing for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look restaurant-quality on a platter but take just 15 minutes of actual work.
  • You can make them hours ahead and keep them chilled, which means less stress when guests arrive.
  • The flavor combination tastes like a gourmet Italian sub but in a format that's actually easy to eat with one hand.
02 -
  • Wet vegetables are your enemy—make absolutely sure those roasted peppers and banana peppers are thoroughly drained and patted dry or the whole thing falls apart.
  • The dressing acts as both flavor and sealant, so don't skimp on it or use too little; it should be evenly spread but still thin.
03 -
  • A sharp serrated knife makes cleaner cuts than a dull straight blade; invest in one if you're doing this regularly.
  • If you're short on time, skip the chill step, but your cuts will be slightly messier and the roll will hold together better if it's cold.
