Description

These Italian Pinwheels are a colorful and savory appetizer packed with classic deli meats, cheese, and Italian herbs. Wrapped in a soft tortilla and sliced into bite-sized rolls, they’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or lunchboxes!


Ingredients

Scale

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp Italian dressing

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp garlic powder

6 slices deli ham

6 slices hard salami

6 slices pepperoni

4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, diced

1/2 cup baby spinach leaves


Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, Italian dressing, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until smooth.

2. Lay out one tortilla and spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture.

3. Layer with ham, salami, pepperoni, cheese, roasted red peppers, and spinach.

4. Roll tightly into a log and wrap in plastic wrap.

5. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

6. Chill for at least 30 minutes for easier slicing.

7. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Substitute meats or cheese to your liking — turkey or provolone also work great.

Add banana peppers or olives for extra Italian flavor.

Make ahead: refrigerate up to 24 hours before slicing.
