Equipment

Hand-held electric mixer

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 burrito-size flour tortillas
12 thin slices Provolone cheese
12 thin slices ham
12 thin slices sandwich-style pepperoni
12 thin slices salami
1/2 cup sliced roasted red pepper patted dry
1/3 cup banana pepper rings patted dry
6 pepperoncini peppers sliced and patted dry

Instructions

In a medium bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer or a wooden spoon to mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian salad dressing, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 20 seconds.
Spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla.
Arrange 4 slices of cheese on each tortilla, keeping it at least 1/2 inch away from the edge of the tortillas.
Place a layer of ham, pepperoni, and salami on top of the cheese.
Evenly scatter the roasted red peppers, banana peppers, and pepperoncini peppers on top of the salami.
Tightly roll each tortilla up and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, cut into slices. The end pieces won't have much filling. Either snack on them while you slice the pinwheels or discard them.
