Ingredients

4 large tortillas (10-inch/25 cm)
1 cup (150 g) sliced salami
1 cup (150 g) sliced prosciutto
1 cup (150 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup (200 g) fresh arugula or spinach
1/2 cup (75 g) roasted red peppers, sliced
1/4 cup (60 g) pesto sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredient Notes

Fresh ingredients make a difference, especially the pesto and greens. You can substitute the mozzarella with provolone or feta for a different flavor twist, and if you’re not a fan of salami or prosciutto, turkey or grilled chicken works wonderfully.

Kitchen Tools Needed

Large cutting board
Sharp knife
Mixing bowl
Non-stick skillet (optional, for toasting wraps)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Lay each tortilla flat on a large cutting board.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly over each tortilla.
Layer on the salami, prosciutto, shredded mozzarella, arugula, and roasted red peppers, leaving about an inch (2.5 cm) margin around the edges.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Starting from one side, tightly roll the tortilla until everything is enclosed. Tuck in the sides as you roll for a neat seal.
If desired, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

Pro Tips

For added flavor, grill the wraps on a panini press.
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a salad for a complete meal.
If making ahead, wrap each completed wrap in parchment paper for easy storage.

Common Mistakes

Overfilling the wraps can make them difficult to roll.
Not toasting the wraps can result in a soggy texture.
Forgetting to season the fillings can lead to bland bites.

Variations

Swap meats: Use grilled chicken or veggies for a vegetarian version.
Change the cheese: Try fresco cheese or a mix of different cheeses.
Add extra veggies: Include cucumber, tomatoes, or bell peppers for crunch.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these Italian wraps with a simple green salad or some crunchy baby carrots. A side of balsamic vinaigrette makes for a perfect dip.

Storage Instructions

Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re best eaten within 2 days to ensure freshness.

Reheating Tips

If you prefer warm wraps, reheat them in the skillet over low heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave for about 30 seconds; just be cautious not to overdo it, as that can make the tortillas chewy.
