        1. Make the Creamy Spread<\/strong><\/h4>\n

        In a medium bowl:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Beat softened cream cheese<\/strong> and sour cream<\/strong> until smooth and fluffy (~1 minute).<\/li>\n
        • Add garlic powder<\/strong>, onion powder<\/strong>, salt<\/strong>, pepper<\/strong>, and ranch seasoning or herbs<\/strong>. Mix well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          <\/div>\n
          \n
          \n<\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n

            \n
            \n<\/div>\n
            <\/div>\n

            3. Assemble the Rolls<\/strong><\/h4>\n

            Lay one tortilla flat<\/strong> on a clean surface.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Spread \u00bc of the filling<\/strong> evenly over the entire surface, right to the edges.<\/li>\n
            • Gently lift one edge and roll tightly into a firm log, like a jelly roll.<\/li>\n
            • Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              <\/div>\n

                <\/div>\n

                • Wipe the blade between cuts for neat edges.<\/li>\n
                • Arrange on a platter, cut-side up, for a beautiful display.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
