- Add the sliced roasted red peppers on top of the spinach, followed by the salami slices.
- Sprinkle the chopped Kalamata olives and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire surface.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance flavors.
- Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly but gently into a log shape. Make sure all ingredients are tucked in as you roll.
- Once rolled, press gently to seal the edges and ensure it holds its shape.
- Slice the pinwheel log into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife, making sure to clean the knife between cuts for a neat finish.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
💡 Chef's Notes
Arrange the pinwheels in a circular pattern on a large platter and garnish with fresh basil leaves for color. Consider serving with extra pesto or a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
