Instructions

Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Add the whipped cream cheese to a mixing bowl, then stir in the pickle juice until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as preferred.
Spread the cream cheese mixture: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface and evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
Add chopped vegetables: Sprinkle the chopped dill pickles and the finely diced red bell pepper evenly over the cream cheese on each tortilla.
Layer the salami: Place three slices of salami in a single layer across each tortilla, distributing them evenly atop the vegetables.
Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling remains inside without spilling out.
Chill and set: Wrap the rolled tortillas securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up for easier slicing.
Slice and serve: Once chilled, unwrap the logs and slice into bite-sized pinwheels. Serve these pinwheels cold as a tasty appetizer or snack and enjoy their fresh and tangy flavor.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the salami or substitute with a vegetarian deli meat.
Use low-fat or light cream cheese for a lighter version.
Make the pinwheels up to a day in advance and keep refrigerated to enhance flavor melding.
Try adding fresh herbs like dill or chives for added brightness.
Serve with a side of ranch or mustard dip for extra zest.
