Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened, about 1 cup
- ½ cup roasted red peppers jarred, diced
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ¼ cup Pepperoncini peppers pickled, diced
- 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 3 pieces flour tortillas burrito-sized, 10 inch across
- 18 lices ham I used black forest thin sliced, about 6 ounces
- 18 lices salami thin sliced, about 5 ounces
- 48 lices pepperoni thin sliced, about 5-6 ounces
- 9 lices Provolone
- 3 large Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl add softened cream cheese, roasted red bell peppers, parmesan, pepperoncini peppers, and Italian seasoning. Mix together until combined.
- Spread about one-third of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla across the entire surface.
- Layer six slices of ham and six slices of salami across the chees.
- Place sixteen slices of pepperoni per tortilla evenly across the tortilla.
- Add three slices of provolone per tortilla in the center and top each with a lettuce leaf.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Keep in mind the provolone and lettuce will be the center of the pinwheel. Refrigerate for about an hour to help the pinwheels to stay rolled tightly.
- Slice each roll into about 1 inch slices, 8 pinwheels each. Then enjoy!

Notes
- Microwaving the tortillas for 5-10 seconds before assembling the rolls can help the tortillas to roll more easily. This keeps them from breaking.
- Blot the ham, lettuce, and other meats if needed with a paper towel if they have extra liquid. Ham and lettuce both can sometimes have a little too much moisture if not dried, which can make the pinwheel soggy.
- Refrigerating the rolls helps to keep them rolled tightly when you slice the pinwheels.
- You can make these wraps ahead of time up to the day before. Enjoy within 24 hours.
- If packing these further in advance, leaving the lettuce off can give you a little more time that these pinwheels will still be delicious.
