Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, drained

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the cheddar cheese, chiles, picante sauce, chili powder, garlic salt and onion powder until blended.
  • 2. Separate each tube of crescent roll dough into four rectangles; press perforations to seal. Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture over each rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
