Instructions
Make the Italian cream cheese spread by combining the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, olive oil, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper; mix until well combined. Set aside until needed.
Prepare the pinwheels by spreading the cream cheese spread evenly over the tortillas. Next, spread the shredded lettuce evenly over the each tortilla. Place the onions, tomato slices, and pepperoncini evenly over the lettuce. Side Note: Place the tomato slices & pepperoncini on paper towels to blot off excess moisture before using.
Next, layer the pepperoni, provolone cheese, and genoa salami slices evenly over the tortillas.
Tightly roll each tortilla into a log. Secure the pinwheels with a toothpick and use a sharp serrated knife to cut the log into 1-inch pinwheels. Serve and enjoy.
