Ingredients
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 8 slices deli-style ham
- 8 slices Genoa salami
- 8 slices deli turkey
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers, drained
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1: Make the Italian Mayo Spread
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
Step 2: Layer the Fillings
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Italian mayo mixture over the tortilla, all the way to the edges. Layer 2 slices each of ham, salami, and turkey, followed by 2 slices of provolone cheese.
Step 3: Add Veggies and Roll Up
Scatter a small handful of shredded lettuce, a few tomato slices, some red onion, pepperoncini, and black olives over the meats and cheese—leaving about 1-inch free from one edge for sealing. Starting from the edge with the filling, tightly roll up the tortilla toward the uncovered edge, pressing gently to seal.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, trim off the ends, then slice the roll-up into 4-5 bite-sized pieces. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate until needed.
Notes
- Ensure you don’t overstuff the tortillas to prevent tearing while rolling.
- For the freshest results, slice the roll-ups just before serving.
- If making ahead, wrap tightly in plastic wrap to keep roll-ups from drying out.
Variations
- Vegetarian Roll-Up: Omit the meats and add grilled zucchini, bell peppers, and more cheese.
