For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the cream cheese before spreading it on the tortillas. If you don't have a broiler, you can roast the jalapenos directly over a gas stovetop flame using tongs until the skins are blackened. Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your spice preference. For a milder flavor, remove more of the seeds and membranes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
