Italian Sub Pinwheel Wraps (Printable)

Soft tortillas layered with Italian meats, cheeses, and peppers create easy, flavorful chilled pinwheels.

# What You 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

# 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 work surface and spread a thin, even layer of dressing across it, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
03 - Distribute one quarter of the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese evenly across the dressed tortilla surface.
04 - Sprinkle the roasted red peppers, banana peppers, shredded lettuce, and red onion uniformly over the meat and cheese layer.
05 - Tightly roll the tortilla into a compact log, starting from one edge and ensuring all fillings remain enclosed. Repeat with remaining three tortillas and fillings.
06 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for easier slicing and cleaner cuts.
07 - Using a sharp knife, slice each chilled roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite Italian sub sandwich but elegant enough that no one realizes you threw them together in 15 minutes.
  • Cold, sliceable, and totally make-ahead means you can prep them the morning of a party and actually enjoy your guests instead of sweating in the kitchen.
  • Everyone asks for the recipe, which feels like a small victory worth savoring.
02 -
  • Patting your peppers dry with paper towels is non-negotiable—soggy pinwheels start falling apart the moment they hit the platter.
  • The 30-minute chill isn't just for show; it genuinely makes slicing easier and keeps everything from sliding around when you bite into it.
03 -
  • Buy your meats and cheese from the deli counter and ask them to slice everything paper-thin—it makes rolling easier and eating more enjoyable.
  • If your tortillas tear while rolling, just lay down another one underneath and roll them together; no one will know once they're sliced.
