Italian Summer Pinwheel Sandwiches (Print Format)

Enjoy savory deli meats and a tangy cream cheese spread rolled up in tortillas, perfect for summer gatherings.

# Ingredients:

→ Spread Ingredients

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 - 0.6 packet zesty Italian dressing mix
03 - 3 tbsp roasted red peppers, diced
04 - 2 tbsp pickled hot peppers, diced

→ Meat Ingredients

05 - 25 slices salami, thinly sliced
06 - 12 slices pepperoni, thinly sliced
07 - 25 slices ham, thinly sliced

→ Assembly

08 - 3-4 large tortillas

# Steps:

01 - In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, zesty Italian dressing packet, diced pickled hot peppers, and diced roasted red peppers. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a creamy, flavorful spread.
02 - Lay out 3 to 4 large tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering almost the entire surface but leaving a small border around the edges to facilitate rolling.
03 - On top of each spread tortilla, evenly distribute thinly sliced ham, making sure to leave a bit of space near the edges. Follow by layering the salami slices evenly over the ham, then add the pepperoni slices on top, ensuring all meats are spread out for balanced flavor in every bite.
04 - Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla up tightly, pressing gently to secure the roll. Place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 2-inch pinwheels to create bite-sized sandwiches perfect for serving and snacking.
05 - Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for a chilled snack later. These sammies are perfect for picnics, beach days, or casual gatherings.

# Tips:

01 - Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and spreading.
02 - Use a sharp knife to cleanly slice the pinwheels without squishing the rolls.
03 - For a spicier kick, increase the quantity of pickled hot peppers.
04 - These sandwiches can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 24 hours.
05 - Feel free to substitute or add different deli meats or cheeses based on preference.
