# What You Need:

→ Spreads & Condiments

01 - 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
02 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Wraps

05 - 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

→ Meats

06 - 4 oz thinly sliced Genoa salami
07 - 4 oz thinly sliced pepperoni
08 - 4 oz thinly sliced deli ham

→ Cheese

09 - 6 slices provolone cheese

→ Vegetables & Greens

10 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
11 - 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced thin
12 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives

# How to Make:

01 - In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth and well blended.
02 - Place a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface, extending to the edges.
03 - Arrange 1 oz each of Genoa salami, pepperoni, and deli ham in an even layer over the cream cheese base.
04 - Place 1 to 2 slices of provolone cheese over the meats. Distribute a handful of baby spinach, roasted red pepper strips, and black olives evenly across the surface.
05 - Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla as tightly as possible without tearing, keeping all fillings securely inside.
06 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining three tortillas and filling ingredients.
07 - Wrap each rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the rolls to firm and hold their shape.
08 - Remove the plastic wrap and cut each roll into 6 equal pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
