Creating Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites is easy and fun! Follow these simple steps to prepare this delightful dish:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell pepper, green onions, black olives, garlic powder, onion powder, taco seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

2. Spread the Filling: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla.

3. Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one end, tightly roll up the tortilla to create a log shape. Make sure to roll it tightly to keep the filling secure.

4. Chill (Optional): If you have time, wrap the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.

5. Slice the Rolls: Once firm, remove the plastic wrap and place the rolled tortillas on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch thick pieces.

6. Arrange on a Platter: Place the sliced Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites on a serving platter, cut side up for an appealing presentation.

7. Garnish: Add chopped fresh cilantro on top for a pop of color and extra flavor.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delicious bites immediately, or cover and refrigerate them until ready to enjoy!
