Soft tortillas filled with deli meats, cheeses, and crisp veggies, rolled for easy serving and snacking.

# 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 and 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

# How-To 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 tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
03 - Distribute a quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the dressed tortilla.
04 - Sprinkle the tortilla with chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and sliced red onion in an even layer.
05 - Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm the roll and make slicing easier.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required, which means your kitchen stays calm and your stress stays low.
  • The flavors taste like a proper Italian sub but arrive as elegant little spirals that don't require two hands to eat.
  • You can make these hours ahead and keep them chilled, so you're actually relaxing when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Pat your roasted peppers and banana peppers completely dry before chopping—excess moisture is the enemy of freshness when these sit for even a couple of hours.
  • Ask the deli counter for paper-thin slices of everything; thick slices create an unbalanced roll that's hard to bite through and awkward to eat.
03 -
  • A sharp serrated bread knife cuts cleaner pinwheels than a regular chef's knife, and wiping the blade between cuts prevents smudging the filling.
  • Make the dressing first and let it sit for a few minutes—the flavors meld and the vinegar mellows slightly, creating something more balanced and delicious.
