- 6 Flour Tortillas, 10 Burrito Size
- 6 ounces, weight Sliced Or Block Smoked Provolone Cheese, Cut Into 1/2x 1/2 Sticks
- 12 Kalamata Olives, Cut In Quarters Lengthwise
- 4 ounces, weight Genoa Salami, Sliced Paper Thin

- 1.
- In a small bowl mash garlic confit and combine with cream cheese, stirring until smooth.
- 2.
- Assemble pinwheels into logs by laying one tortilla on the preparation surface.
- Trim about 1 off the right and left sides of the tortilla to make flat sides.
- Spread 113 ounces of the cream cheese mixture over the entire top surface of the tortilla.
- 3.
- Beginning 1/2 from the edge nearest to you, lay several of the the provolone cheese sticks end to end across the tortilla.
- 4.
- Beyond the provolone cheese lay 8 kalamata olive quarters end to end across the tortilla.
- 5.
- Next lay 3 slices of salami torn in half, across the tortilla.
- 6.
- Continue this process with each of the other ingredients, making sure that you leave about 1 1/2 at the top edge of the tortilla with nothing but cream cheese mixture.
- 7.
- Gently press down on all of the fillings to set them into the cream cheese and tightly roll up the tortilla beginning at the edge nearest you.
- The cream cheese without any fillings on top will serve to seal the finished log.
- 8.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- As you complete each tortilla, roll each log tightly in a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Make sure that the plastic wrap is at least 4 inches wider than the log so you can tuck the ends over to seal completely.
- Chill the wrapped logs for 1 1/2 hours to firm up.
- Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and cut each log into 8 slices and arrange on a serving plate with the cut sides up to show the spiraling pinwheel.
- Note regarding the garlic confit: Any commercially prepared garlic cloves packed in olive oil can be substituted.
- My preferred deli doesnt always have slabs of unsliced smoked provolone cheese.
- In that case, I buy the sliced versions; stack up the slices 1/2 high and cut my 1/2 x 1/2 sticks from that.
