Method
 

Making the Pinwheels
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth and well blended, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Finely chop the sliced pepperoncini and medium tomato, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Lay a flour tortilla flat and spread one-quarter of the cream cheese mixture over it.
  4. Sprinkle chopped romaine lettuce evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Layer three slices of provolone cheese, followed by hard salami and then ham.
  6. Distribute pepperoni slices across the meat and cheese layers.
  7. Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  8. Refrigerate rolled pinwheels for at least 1 hour before slicing into 1-inch pieces.
