These easy Italian sub pinwheels combine zesty Italian deli meats, creamy provolone cheese, fresh veggies, and a tangy balsamic glaze for a quick, crowd-pleasing party snack ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Italian deli meats: sliced Genoa salami, pepperoni, and ham (3 to 4 ounces each)
  • Provolone cheese, sliced thin (6 to 8 slices)
  • Shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • Thinly sliced tomatoes
  • Red onion rings
  • Banana peppers, sliced (optional)
  • Mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Balsamic glaze (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until smooth.
  2. Place one 10-inch flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of the mayo-mustard mixture all the way to the edges.
  3. Layer 3 to 4 ounces of Italian deli meats evenly over the spread, followed by 2 to 3 slices of provolone cheese.
  4. Place a handful of shredded lettuce, thin tomato slices, red onion rings, and optional banana pepper slices on top of the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the veggies.
  6. Starting at one edge, carefully but firmly roll the tortilla into a tight log. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  7. Place the wrapped rolls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up.
  8. Remove the wrap and slice the roll into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp serrated knife.
  9. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze over them just before serving.

Notes

Add balsamic glaze just before serving to prevent soggy tortillas. Chill the rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes before slicing to keep pinwheels intact. Use a serrated knife for clean cuts. For gluten-free, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
