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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to ensure the filling stays compact and forms easy-to-slice rolls.
- 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.
- 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.
