By layering deli meats, provolone cheese, and fresh vegetables with a vibrant Italian-inspired dressing inside a wrap, you get all the robust flavors without the fuss of individual sandwiches.

Prepare for a symphony of textures and flavors in every bite. You'll experience the savory richness of ham or capocollo and salami, balanced by the sharp tang of provolone and the refreshing crunch of romaine lettuce and red onion. The zesty red wine vinegar dressing, enhanced by dried oregano, black pepper, and a kick from pepperoncini peppers, ties all the robust ingredients together for a truly satisfying experience that's both fresh and hearty.

These Italian Grinder Pinwheels are incredibly versatile to suit your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different deli meats beyond ham, capocollo, and salami, or swap provolone for another favorite cheese like mozzarella or provolone-fontina blend. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few black olives or sun-dried tomatoes. If you can't find lavash, burrito-size tortillas work just as well as the base.
