12 oz block cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1/4 cup fresh jalapeño, diced (remove seeds/pith for milder spice)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
5 large burrito‑size flour tortillas
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, diced jalapeño, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving about a 1‑inch border around the edges.
Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) to firm them up.
Slice each roll into bite‑size pinwheels—serve immediately and enjoy!
