How to make Italian Sub Roll-Up

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken breast (deli slices)
• 4 Slices Mortadella
• 4 Slices Sopressata
• 4 Slices Pepperoni
• 4 Slices Provolone, omit for dairy-free option
• Paleo Lime Mayo or store-bought mayo, we love Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo
• Shredded Lettuce
• Extra toppings, our favorites are banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, roasted red peppers, and black olives, if desired
• Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Italian Seasoning
• Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Layer the meat slices from largest to smallest. For the brand we use (Boar’s Head), the order is:

   • Chicken breast (deli slices)
   • Mortadella
   • Sopressata
   • Pepperoni
2. 
   

   Spread a thin layer of mayo on the stack, making sure to leave space at the top of the largest piece to keep it from squishing out when you roll them up.

   
   
3. 
   

   Add a slice of provolone on top of the mayo, about halfway from the top. Add a small handful of lettuce to the lower half and top with desired extra toppings (optional).

   
   
4. 
   

   Have the toothpicks nearby and ready to grab. Starting from the bottom of the cheese, gently (but as tightly as possible) roll the stack, pushing in any fillings that find their way out.

   
   
5. 
   

   When you get to the end, secure the outer meat edges with a toothpick.

   
   
6. 
   

   To serve, pour 2 parts oil and 1 part vinegar into a small dipping ramekin. Sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top. Dip the roll-ups in the oil/vinegar and enjoy!

   
   
7. 
   

   Store extras in the fridge, wrapped individually in plastic wrap, for up to a week. These make for delicious and easy school lunches.
