• Evenly divide and layer 8 ounces thinly sliced sopressata salami or prosciutto, 5 ounces thinly sliced pastrami, corned beef or cooked beef and one 3-1/2 ounce package sliced pepperoni atop one half of each tortilla.
• Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a spiral, starting with the edge with the meat.
