13 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
14 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
15 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
16 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Wrap Assembly

17 - 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
18 - Extra grinder dressing, for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
02 - In a large bowl, combine shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, sliced pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, and black olives. Pour in the freshly made grinder dressing and toss thoroughly to evenly coat all vegetables.
03 - Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Arrange a single slice each of Genoa salami, deli ham, turkey breast (if using), and provolone cheese along the center of the tortilla.
04 - Spoon a generous portion of the prepared grinder salad mixture over the layered meats and cheese. Drizzle additional grinder dressing over the salad, if desired for extra flavor.
05 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a compact wrap. Ensure the seam is sealed to keep fillings inside.
06 - Repeat the layering, scooping, and rolling process with the remaining three tortillas and filling ingredients.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half crosswise. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
