Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with Italian seasoning until smooth and creamy.
  2. Finely chop the sliced pepperoncini and medium tomato, then gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Lay out your large flour tortillas on a clean surface and evenly spread a quarter of the cream cheese mixture across each tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle chopped romaine lettuce over the cream cheese layer, pressing down slightly to adhere.
  5. In the center of each tortilla, layer the provolone cheese slices, followed by hard salami and ham, and top with pepperoni slices.
  6. Starting from the top of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly away from you until fully wrapped.
  7. Place the rolled pinwheels in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  8. Once chilled, take the pinwheels out of the fridge and use a serrated knife to slice them into 1-inch thick pieces.

Notes

Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
