Description

Salami Pinwheels are a quick and savory no-cook appetizer made by spreading a creamy Italian seasoned cream cheese mixture on soft flour tortillas, layering with slices of salami, shredded mozzarella, and chopped green onions. Rolled tightly and chilled, then sliced into bite-sized pinwheels, they offer a flavorful, easy-to-make snack perfect for parties, lunch boxes, or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 16 slices salami
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions


Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and evenly seasoned.
  2. Spread on tortillas: Evenly spread the seasoned cream cheese mixture over each of the four large flour tortillas, covering the surface completely to serve as a flavorful base layer.
  3. Layer the salami: Place the 16 slices of salami evenly over the cream cheese spread on each tortilla to add a savory and slightly spicy flavor component.
  4. Add cheese and onions: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and the chopped green onions evenly on top of the salami layers to add creaminess and a fresh onion bite.
  5. Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to ensure the filling stays compact and forms easy-to-slice rolls.
  6. Chill to set: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step firms up the rolls, making them easier to slice and enhancing the flavors.
  7. Slice and serve: Remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving to save time on event days.
  • You can substitute the mozzarella cheese with cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor variation.
