Prepare the Filling

1. Soften the Cream Cheese: Take the cream cheese out of the fridge about 15 minutes before you start preparing the recipe to allow it to soften. This will make it easier to mix.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, chopped bell peppers, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Use a spoon or spatula to stir everything together until it’s smooth and well combined.
3. Taste and Adjust: Give the filling a quick taste. If you prefer more spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more chili powder. You can also increase the amount of garlic powder or green onions based on your preference.

Prepare the Tortillas

1. Warm the Tortillas: Lightly heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling.
2. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil or melted butter on both sides. This will help them crisp up beautifully when baked.
3. Spread the Filling: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese filling over each tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border on the edges.

Roll and Slice the Tortillas

1. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla, starting from one edge. Be gentle to avoid spilling the filling.
2. Slice the Rolls: Use a sharp knife to slice each rolled-up tortilla into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. You should get about 6-8 slices from each tortilla.

Bake the Tortilla Bites

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange the Tortilla Bites: Place the tortilla slices flat on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not overlapping. You can also place them standing up if you want to get a little creative with the presentation.
3. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the tortilla bites are golden brown and crispy. The cheese filling will also start to bubble a bit—just be sure not to overcook them, as they can dry out.

Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve Warm: Serve your Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites warm, and enjoy their crispy exterior and creamy, cheesy interior.
2. Pair with Dips: For an extra touch, serve these bites with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping. The cool, tangy dips contrast beautifully with the warm, cheesy bites.
