Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Print view)

Classic Italian flavors wrapped in soft tortillas, ideal for parties and quick snacks.

# 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

# Cooking Steps:

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 - Layer one quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the dressed tortilla in a single, consistent layer.
04 - Sprinkle the chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and sliced red onion over the meat and cheese layer.
05 - Tightly roll the tortilla from one end into a compact log, applying gentle pressure to secure all components. Repeat this process with the remaining three tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This firms the ingredients and facilitates clean slicing.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut each chilled roll into 1-inch pinwheel sections. Arrange pinwheels on a serving platter and present chilled.

# Expert Ideas:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you can make these while chatting with guests instead of sweating in the kitchen.
  • They hold up beautifully on a platter for hours, making them the perfect answer when people say they're stopping by soon.
02 -
  • Wet peppers will make your wraps dissolve into soggy mush, so pat those roasted red peppers and banana peppers completely dry with paper towels before chopping.
  • Chilling the rolls before slicing is not optional if you want pinwheels that look intentional—room temperature rolls collapse into a messy spiral that tastes fine but looks abandoned.
03 -
  • Ask your deli counter to slice everything paper-thin—it makes rolling easier and your pinwheels look more elegant and intentional.
  • Keep those peppers dry and your lettuce crisp, and these will stay fresh and beautiful for hours on a platter instead of turning into a sad, soggy mess.
