Italian Pinwheels
Description
The recipe prepares a cream cheese base blended with Italian dressing, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chopped pepperoncini, and roasted red bell peppers. This spread adds creaminess and tang. It is evenly applied to large flour tortillas then layered with several types of deli meats—salami, pepperoni, ham—and provolone cheese slices, along with crisp green leaf lettuce.
Once tightly rolled into a spiral, the log is chilled if not served immediately, then sliced into roughly one-inch pinwheel pieces. The combination offers a balance of creamy, tangy, salty, and fresh flavors, making it suitable for serving as a finger food appetizer or casual party treat.
The note simply points out the recipe is convenient to make ahead, allowing preparation before an event and easing serving logistics.
Ingredients
For each pinwheel
- 3 large flour tortilla burrito size
- 15 lices salami 5-6 per tortilla
- 15 lices pepperoni 5-6 per tortilla
- 6 lices deli ham 2 slices per tortilla
- 6 lices provolone cheese 2 slices per tortilla
- 3 leaves green leaf lettuce
For the cream cheese spread
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1 Tbsp. Italian dressing
- 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup Pepperoncini chopped small
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper roasted, chopped small
Instructions
- Combine the softened cream cheese, Italian dressing, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, pepperoncini and roasted red bell peppers in a medium sized bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Spread cream cheese mixture on tortilla. (about 1/4 cup per tortilla or enough to cover the tortilla)
- Layer the ingredients on top of the cream cheese a little off center in an even layer: salami, pepperoni, ham, cheese and lettuce.
- Tightly roll into a spiral. If not serving right away, chill in a spiral. When ready to serve, slice into ~1-inch thick pinwheels. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients. Enjoy!
Notes
- Prepare pinwheels ahead of time and refrigerate before slicing to help the rolls firm up for easier cutting and serving.
