Instructions

Prepare the Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Spread Over Tortillas: Lay each of the 4 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or butter knife, spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each tortilla.
Layer the Fillings: On top of the cream cheese spread, evenly arrange 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of provolone cheese, then sprinkle with finely chopped roasted red peppers, chopped banana peppers, sliced black olives, and top with fresh baby spinach for each tortilla.
Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a cylindrical shape, ensuring the fillings stay secure inside and the roll is firm.
Chill the Pinwheels: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to let them firm up, which will make slicing easier and keep the shape.
Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the rolls and slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve chilled as a flavorful appetizer or snack.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add sliced pepperoncini or a dash of red pepper flakes into the cream cheese mixture or as a topping.
Substitute whole wheat tortillas to add fiber and make the appetizer a bit healthier.
These pinwheels are best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
You can customize with other deli meats or cheeses depending on preference.
