Ingredients:

• 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup Chihuahua Brand Quesadilla Cheese from V&V Supremo

• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Chihuahua Brand Quesadilla Cheese from V&V Supremo, chopped jalapeños, crumbled bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

5. Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese filling onto the center of each crescent triangle.

6. Fold the edges of the crescent dough over the filling, pinching to seal and form a ball. Ensure the filling is completely enclosed.
