Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces 10-inch flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 7 ounces Genoa salami slices
- 7 ounces prosciutto or thinly sliced chicken ham Opt for lean deli chicken ham for a lighter option.
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 8 pieces romaine lettuce leaves Thick center veins removed.
- 8 ounces block cream cheese (softened) Reduced-fat cream cheese works well too.
- 1/3 cup jarred pepperoncini Thoroughly patted dry and finely diced.
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil Rinsed, patted very dry, and finely diced.
- 1/4 cup basil pesto Excess oil blotted off.
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare your lettuce by gently stripping out the thick center vein from each leaf so they lie flat.
- Rinse your sun-dried tomatoes and pepperoncini thoroughly, then pat them dry to prevent sogginess.
- Blot any excess oil from the top of your basil pesto.
Mix the Spread
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced pepperoncini, diced sun-dried tomatoes, basil pesto, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.
Assemble Each Tortilla
- Lay one tortilla flat and spread about a quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the surface.
- Down the center, line up three slices of provolone cheese.
- Cover with chicken ham followed by salami slices. Add two lettuce leaves along the bottom edge.
Roll and Chill
- Roll up the tortilla from the bottom edge snugly to avoid gaps. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
Slice and Serve
- Unwrap rolls and slice off the ends of each roll. Cut into 3/4-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange on a platter and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze tightly wrapped for longer storage. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
