Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Print View)

Savory Italian-style pinwheels with layers of deli meats, provolone, and fresh vegetables rolled in soft tortillas.

# Components:

→ 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

# Preparation 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 surface and spread a thin layer of dressing evenly over the entire surface, 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.
04 - Sprinkle the tortilla with chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and red onion in an even layer.
05 - Tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log, using gentle pressure to keep layers intact. Repeat the layering and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures clean, defined pinwheel slices and enhances flavor integration.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels with clean, decisive cuts. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in 15 minutes, which means you can make them while your guests are still getting ready.
  • The flavor tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • They hold up beautifully for hours, so they're perfect for potlucks, picnics, or when people are grazing all afternoon.
  • Kids and adults both reach for these without hesitation.
02 -
  • Soggy pinwheels are the only real failure here, and they happen because peppers or lettuce weren't dried properly before assembly—pat everything dry with paper towels and you'll avoid regret.
  • The refrigeration step isn't just a suggestion; cold filling holds together when you slice, and warm filling falls apart, so patience matters more than you'd think.
03 -
  • Keep a sharp serrated knife in your hand when slicing—a dull blade squishes the filling and makes edges ragged.
  • Assemble the rolls on a piece of plastic wrap so you can simply wrap and roll without transferring them to a separate storage container.
