Instructions:
Prepare Cream Cheese Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Lay Out Tortillas: On a large cutting board or clean flat surface, place two flour tortillas side by side, overlapping their edges by a few inches. This creates a larger surface for rolling.
Spread Cream Cheese: Spread half of the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly over the overlapping tortillas, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer Meats and Cheese: Place a layer of thinly sliced ham directly on top of the cream cheese, followed by a layer of thinly sliced salami, and then the sliced mozzarella cheese.
Add Peppers and Herbs: Evenly sprinkle the drained roasted red pepper slices and drained peperoncinis, along with the freshly chopped basil, over the lower two-thirds of the layered ingredients. This ensures the fillings are concentrated where the roll begins.
Roll and Slice: Tightly roll the tortillas from the bottom towards the top. Once rolled, secure the seam with a few toothpicks if needed. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the rolled wrap into 1 to 1.5-inch portions.
Repeat: Repeat the entire process with the remaining two tortillas and ingredients.
