Description

Salami Pinwheels are quick, savory, bite-sized appetizers made with soft tortillas, creamy seasoned cream cheese, and flavorful salami slices. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or easy snacks, these tasty pinwheels come together in just minutes and require no cooking, making them an effortless crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Fillings & Flavorings

  • 20–24 slices salami
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or spinach (optional)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, stirring until smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Spread the cream cheese base. Evenly spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture over each of the four flour tortillas, covering the entire surface.
  3. Layer the salami. Arrange the salami slices evenly on top of the cream cheese-coated tortillas, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Add cheese and greens (optional). Sprinkle shredded cheese over the salami layer, and if desired, add shredded lettuce or spinach for added freshness and texture.
  5. Roll the tortillas. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, making sure the fillings stay in place and the roll is compact.
  6. Chill the rolls. Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, which will help them hold their shape when sliced.
  7. Slice and serve. After chilling, slice each roll into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange on a serving platter to enjoy.

Notes

  • Chilling helps the rolls hold their shape when slicing, preventing them from falling apart.
  • Swap salami for other deli meats like turkey, ham, or pepperoni for variety.
  • Add extras such as pickles, olives, or roasted red peppers to introduce more flavor and texture.
