    These easy Italian Pinwheels are loaded with ham, salami, pepperoni, and cheese. It's my favorite easy lunch recipe and one that you will want to try. 

    Italian Pinwheels sliced on wooden serving board.

    I love these pinwheels for the summer! We made them last week and packed them for the pool. Everyone loved them and they are so easy to make.

    Packing a picnic lunch makes pool days or park days way more fun! After a lot of swimming or playing outside a good lunch is important to have.

    Plus driving home with hungry kids makes every fast-food restaurant we drive by a necessity for us to stop at.

    How to make Italian Pinwheels:

    Pinwheels get their name from how they are made. They are essentially a form of a wrap. You layer your ingredients in a tortilla wrap and then roll. Nothing beats a classic deli roll. A wrap or rollup filled with quality deli meats and cheeses!

    One you have rolled them you wrap them and then place them in the refrigerator to set. Once set cut into the pinwheels and serve.

    Ingredients:

    • Mayonnaise
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Flour tortillas
    • Provolone Cheese
    • Deli Meat: I used salami, ham, and pepperoni
    • Banana Peppers

    ingredients for Italian Pinwheels.

    Directions:

    Step One: Start by mixing your mayonnaise and Italian seasoning to make the spread then set aside.

    Italian seasoning and mayo mixed together for the spread.

    Step Two: Spread a thin layer of seasoned mayonnaise onto one tortilla wrap.

    Towards the middle add 2 slices of provolone cheese across the tortilla, 4 slices of salami, 3 slices of deli ham, 5 slices of pepperoni, and a couple of banana peppers.

    • Tip: I bought about a package of each ham, salami, and pepperoni. I had some leftover of each and just sharing with you how much I used on each pinwheel but you can use as much or as little. Make it the way you will like it.

    ingredients all layered on the tortilla wrap.

    Step Three: Starting at the bottom with the banana peppers roll the tortilla until sealed. Wrap in plastic wrap then place in the fridge.

    Repeat until all wraps are made. Leave in the fridge for 10-20 minutes.

    • Tip: Wrapping and refrigerating your pinwheels will help them stick together.

    Step Four: Unwrap from the plastic wrap and slice each tortilla into pinwheels. Serve and enjoy.

    Different ways to enjoy these pinwheels:

    1. Use Cream Cheese - Instead of mayo, try using some cream cheese to mix in with your Italian seasoning. Cream cheese is a thicker spread option so try using a whipped cream cheese.
    2. Add other veggies - Add lettuce, onion slices or tomato slices to the wraps.
    3. Use any variety of meats - Add some bacon, turkey, or any of you favorite deli meats.

    What should I serve with Pinwheels or Rollups?

    Broccoli Salad - The best Broccoli Salad! Broccoli, carrots, raisins and even bacon tossed in a simple homemade dressing. It will be great for your next summer BBQ!

    Classic Pasta Salad - This Classic Pasta Salad is a staple around here! No matters on your menu this summer this pasta salad will be the perfect side dish. It's simple to make and taste amazing.

    Classic Potato Salad - This recipe was passed down from my mother and my all-time favorite potato salad recipe. This Classic Potato Salad will need to be at your next grill out or picnic!

    Here are a few more of my favorite easy lunch ideas: 

    Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken: This Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken is a simple and easy recipe that can be topped on a sandwich or tossed in with a salad. 

    Ham and Swiss Sliders: The easiest weeknight dinner recipe and one my kid's love! This Ham and Swiss Sliders is so simple to make. I topped mine with melted butter, seasoning, and grated parmesan. 

    Baked Sloppy Joes: A classic dish done a different way! These Baked Sloppy Joes have all the classic flavor that you love but we skipped the bun and baked them in a biscuit.
