Description

These Italian Sub Roll Ups are a quick, delicious, and convenient lunch box idea perfect for busy days. Featuring a savory combination of deli meats, provolone cheese, and tangy peppers wrapped in soft tortillas, they deliver classic Italian sub flavors in a fun, handheld format.


Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 4 soft tortillas (soft shell size)
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 8 slices ham
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • 8 slices salami
  • 4 tablespoons chopped banana peppers
  • 1 roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 6 ounces kalamata olives
  • 4 apples, sliced


Instructions

  1. Prepare the tortillas: Lay each soft tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly on each tortilla to add moisture and flavor.
  2. Assemble the fillings: On each tortilla, layer 2 slices of provolone cheese, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of pepperoni, and 2 slices of salami. Evenly distribute 1 tablespoon chopped banana peppers and some chopped roasted red pepper over the meats and cheese.
  3. Roll up the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly to secure the fillings, creating a pinwheel or roll-up shape perfect for easy packing and eating.
  4. Divide and pack: Place each roll-up in a separate lunchbox compartment. Include sliced apples and 1.5 ounces of kalamata olives per serving as complementary sides.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the lunchboxes tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve. These roll-ups are best enjoyed within 2 to 3 days for optimal freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use soft flour tortillas for easier rolling and to prevent cracking.
  • You can swap provolone cheese with mozzarella or Swiss if preferred.
  • Optional: Add fresh lettuce or tomato slices inside for extra crunch and freshness.
  • Keep the roll-ups refrigerated until serving to maintain safety and quality.
  • These roll ups make a great portable lunch or snack.
