Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and taco seasoning. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add diced bell peppers and chopped green onions into the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the veggies.
  3. Lay a tortilla wrap flat and spread a generous layer of the mixture over the entire surface, leaving about half an inch around the edges.
  4. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla to form a log shape, ensuring the filling stays neatly inside.
  5. Wrap each tortilla log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, and slice each log into 1-inch sections to create bite-sized pieces.
