  • 4 oz provolone cheese, thinly sliced

Instructions

1.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

2.

Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of dressing evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

3.

Layer a quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly over the tortilla.

4.

Sprinkle with chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and red onion.

5.

Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

6.

Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier slicing (optional but recommended).

7.

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure perfect pinwheels, pat roasted red peppers and banana peppers dry to avoid sogginess. Keep the lettuce shredded and crisp for fresh texture. Chilling the rolled wraps makes slicing easier and helps maintain their shape. Use a sharp knife to avoid squashing the pinwheels when slicing.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a lighter version, swap flour tortillas for whole wheat and use light mayonnaise in the dressing. Try turkey or chicken instead of traditional Italian deli meats for a milder flavor. Add or substitute veggies like diced cucumbers or fresh spinach to customize your pinwheels.
