Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped (any color)

1/4 cup diced cucumbers

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Start by softening the cream cheese if it's not already at room temperature. You can do this by microwaving it for 15-20 seconds.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, green onions, bell pepper, cucumbers, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

      Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla, reaching all edges.

        Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, creating a log shape. Wrap it in plastic wrap and repeat with the remaining tortillas and mixture.

          Place the wrapped tortillas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to slice.

            After chilling, remove the tortillas from the fridge and unwrap them. Place each log onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.

              Arrange the bites on a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and a pop of color.
