  1. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, diced peppers, and seasonings until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border at the top.
  3. Layer salami, provolone cheese, and pepperoni evenly over the cream cheese.
  4. Roll the tortillas up tightly, ensuring there are no large air pockets.

Notes

Pat dry any wet ingredients (pickles, peppers, meats) before adding to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
