Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Printable)

Classic Italian meats, cheese, and veggies rolled into soft tortilla pinwheels for easy, flavorful bites.

# 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 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

# Method:

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 dressing on the tortilla.
04 - Sprinkle the chopped roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and sliced red onion over the meats and cheese.
05 - Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape, keeping the filling secure. 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 make slicing cleaner and easier.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required means you can pull these together while wearing casual clothes and still impress everyone.
  • They actually taste better when made ahead, so you're basically getting permission to prep the night before.
  • The flavors are bold enough that even people who claim they don't like peppers will eat three without thinking about it.
02 -
  • If your peppers are swimming in liquid, pat them dry or accept that your pinwheels will fall apart after a few hours—this was a painful lesson learned during a summer party.
  • The thirty-minute chill isn't optional if you want clean slices; room-temperature rolls just crumble and look messy no matter how sharp your knife is.
03 -
  • A sharp serrated knife dipped in warm water between cuts makes clean slices that look intentional instead of mangled.
  • If you're nervous about rolling, lay parchment paper under your tortilla so it slides more easily—this small detail genuinely changes the experience.
