Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives (optional)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the chopped green onions, bell pepper, black olives (if using), bacon (if using), and chicken (if using). Stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll up the tortilla. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all the tortillas are rolled, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will make them easier to slice and help the flavors meld together.
- After chilling, remove the tortillas from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the tortilla roll ups on a serving platter and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
