Notes
For added flavor, consider including red pepper flakes or additional herbs like thyme, oregano, or basil. You can substitute hard salami with other deli meats such as pepperoni or ham, and add vegetables like red onion or bell peppers. Spinach wraps can be used instead of flour tortillas for a colorful variation. Serve with dips like ranch dressing or Italian dressing for added flavor.
