Italian Sub Pinwheels

I love taking classic flavor combinations and turning them into something else. Like taking the flavors of an Italian Sub Sandwich and turning them into two bite appetizers. These Italian Sub Pinwheels are perfect for an appetizer night, pot luck or backyard BBQ! They are easy to eat with your fingers and are usually just two bites, maybe three.

For this recipe, I used burrito sized flour tortillas. The great thing about this recipe is that you can change it up with flavored tortillas – like sun-dried tomatoes or spinach. Or you can swap out for a gluten free, carb balance and/or corn tortillas. I personally like to use the Olive Garden brand of Italian Dressing for this. It has a great flavor and can be found in most grocery stores. But you can certainly use what ever brand you have on hand or prefer.

If you have been on the blog before you know I like to do an appetizer night every few weeks. This is when I make 7 or 8 different appetizers and everyone gets an appetizer sampler platter for dinner! I do a few cold preparations like these pinwheels and then a few hot preparations like my Buffalo Chicken Cups. It is a fun break for the typical dinner routine.
