Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup Italian dressing (or homemade vinaigrette)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
8–10 slices of salami or pepperoni
½ cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Spread:
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with Italian dressing until smooth. Spread a thin layer evenly over each tortilla.
Layer the Ingredients:
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the cream cheese. Add slices of salami or pepperoni, roasted red peppers, and optional greens or herbs.
Roll It Up:
Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log.
Chill and Slice:
Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this makes slicing easier). Slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
Serve:
Arrange on a platter and serve cold, or let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for extra flavor.
