Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Print Version)

Soft tortillas filled with classic Italian deli meats, cheeses, and peppers for crowd-pleasing bites.

# What You Need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 large flour tortillas, burrito size

→ Meats

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

→ Cheeses

05 - 4 ounces 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 mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth.
02 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface and spread a thin, even layer of dressing across the entire surface, leaving a half-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 chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and sliced red onion evenly over the meat and cheese layer.
05 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log shape. Repeat this 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.
07 - Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each chilled roll into one-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately while chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes, which means you can pull them together while your guests are on their way.
  • No cooking required—just assembly, which somehow makes them feel less intimidating than actual cooking.
  • The flavors taste way more interesting than the sum of their simple parts.
02 -
  • Wet vegetables are the enemy—pat those roasted peppers and banana peppers completely dry before chopping, or your pinwheels will taste soggy within an hour of assembly.
  • Spreading the dressing thin matters more than you'd think; too much turns the tortilla into a mess the second you bite into it.
03 -
  • Ask the deli counter to slice everything thin—it makes a genuine difference in how easily you can roll and how the pinwheels slice.
  • If your knife starts sticking when slicing, wipe it clean with a damp cloth between cuts; it keeps things neat and prevents tearing.
