Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced salami
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers chopped
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese, mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, roasted red peppers, olives, and basil in a bowl.
  2. Add Italian seasoning to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean cutting board and spread one-quarter of the filling evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, enclosing the filling completely.
  5. Wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces.
  7. Arrange the pinwheel slices on a serving platter and garnish with additional basil if desired.
