These easy Italian sub pinwheel roll-ups combine layers of Italian deli meats, provolone cheese, fresh veggies, and a bright olive oil vinaigrette for a quick, flavorful snack or party dish.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Sliced salami
  • Sliced ham
  • Sliced pepperoni
  • Provolone cheese, sliced
  • Shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • Thinly sliced tomatoes
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Pickled banana peppers or mild pepperoncini (optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (⅓ cup / 80 ml)
  • Red wine vinegar (3 tablespoons / 45 ml)
  • Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
  • Minced garlic (1 clove)
  • Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (½ teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (¼ teaspoon)
  • Honey or sugar (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon honey until fully combined and slightly thickened. Set aside.
  2. Prep the veggies: Rinse and dry shredded lettuce, slice tomatoes thinly, and cut red onion into thin rings. Drain pickled banana peppers if using.
  3. Lay out tortillas: Place one large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Lightly brush or drizzle a small amount of vinaigrette over the tortilla, spreading evenly.
  4. Add meats and cheese: Layer 3–4 slices each of salami, ham, and pepperoni, followed by 3 slices of provolone cheese, overlapping slightly.
  5. Top with veggies: Spread a handful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of tomato, some onion rings, and pickled peppers if using. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the veggies.
  6. Roll tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to keep fillings in place. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes if needed.
  7. Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter.
  8. Serve with extra vinaigrette on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

Use room temperature deli meats and cheese for easier rolling. Warm tortillas slightly if stiff. Chill rolls before slicing for cleaner cuts. Slice just before serving to avoid sogginess. Vinaigrette can be doubled and stored for later use.
