    I found several really good-sounding wrap recipes at the site below. Some would work with cold cuts & there also might be some using them but I didn't look at all. At least it will give you some ideas.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Wraps

    one of my favorites:

    rainbow rotini
    drained rotel tomatoes
    catalina dressing

    add as desired:

    meat-bacon bits, chopped ham, shredded chicken
    cheese-shredded or cubed
    vegs-whole kernel corn, snow peas, green peas, black olives

    you get the idea, its very user friendly.

    The wraps are from Wizardnm and she posted these a while ago and they're very good!

    Cream cheese filling for wraps
    8 oz pkg. cream cheese
    2 green onions (white part and about 1 inch of the green part)
    2 tbsp. dry ranch dressing mix
    2 to 3 tbsp white wine (optional)
    Combine all in a food processor and process until smooth. Spread a couple tbsp of mixture on each tortilla.
    Fill using leaf lettuce, sliced deli meat of choice.
    A great cocktail pinwheel can also be made using the above mixture and the following.
    Olive and Green Chili Blend
    ¾ C chopped green olives
    ¾ C chopped black olives
    1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chili's
    Combine the olives and green chili's.
    Spread a tortilla with the cream cheese mixture then spread with olive mixture.
    Roll up tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hrs or longer.
    Unwrap and slice into pinwheels about 1 inch thick.
    During the holidays I like to combine cream cheese with a bit of cranberry relish, spread on a tortilla and place deli thin sliced smoked turkey on it. Roll up and refrigerate as above. Yummy!
