Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz (170g) sliced salami
- 6 oz (170g) sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese until smooth for easy spreading.
- Spread the cream cheese: Evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese over each tortilla, ensuring to cover the surface but leaving a small border.
- Add the meats: Layer salami and pepperoni slices over the cream cheese on each tortilla, distributing evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheese: Top the meats with shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese for added flavor and texture.
- Roll tightly: Starting at one edge, carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log to keep the fillings intact.
- Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels for serving.
- Serve: Arrange pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For easier slicing, chill the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
- Customize with additional fillings like spinach, roasted red peppers, or olives for more flavor.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
- These pinwheels are perfect for parties, picnics, or as quick snacks.
