- 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream

- 1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onion

Instructions
- Using a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, sour cream and taco spice until smooth.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients: red pepper, green onion, cilantro, cheese and salsa.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly between the 5 flour tortillas, making sure to leave about a half an inch along the edges of the tortillas without the mixture.
