## Instructions

### 1. Make the spread

In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with Italian dressing (or mayo), Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and flavorful.

### 2. Assemble the layers

Lay a tortilla flat and spread with a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices each of salami, pepperoni, and ham. Top with a few chopped peppers, pepperoncini, and a small handful of spinach.

### 3. Roll tightly

Roll the tortilla up tightly, like a log. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

### 4. Chill & slice

Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). When ready to serve, unwrap and slice into 1-inch pinwheels.

## Tips for Perfect Pinwheels

* **Use room-temperature cream cheese** so it spreads easily and evenly.
* **Don’t overfill!** Too many toppings can make rolling difficult.
* **Chill before slicing** to help them hold their shape.
* **Want it spicy?** Add crushed red pepper or hot capicola.
* **Going low-carb?** Use low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves as a wrap alternative.
