Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare Lettuce: Rinse romaine lettuce under cold water, pat dry, and remove thick center veins for pliability.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese Spread: Combine softened cream cheese, pepperoncini, sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt for a smooth mixture.
  3. Assemble Tortillas: Spread the cream cheese mixture over a tortilla, leaving half an inch from the edges, and repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Layer Ingredients: On each tortilla, layer provolone cheese, Genoa salami, prosciutto, and romaine lettuce down the center.
  5. Roll and Chill: Roll each tortilla tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1-2 hours.
  6. Slice and Serve: Unwrap and slice into bite-sized rounds approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick, and serve after resting for 10-15 minutes.
