Description
Italian Pinwheels are a delightful fusion of crispy tortillas and creamy, savory fillings that burst with flavor in every bite. The contrast of the crunchy exterior and the smooth, herb-infused cream cheese creates a sensory experience that is both satisfying and irresistible.
Ingredients
Scale
- Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
- Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable Layer:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- Meat Layer:
- 1 cup sliced salami
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the chopped spinach, roasted red peppers, black olives, salami, and pepperoni evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter.
