For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the cream cheese mixture. Feel free to substitute corn tortillas for flour tortillas, but be sure to warm them slightly to prevent cracking when rolling. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
