4 flour tortillas (8"-10")
16 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (this equals one packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning)
½ pound bacon
4 jalapenos (finely chopped)

Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then remove and crumble into small pieces. Reserve one tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
Cut jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Finely chop the jalapenos and add to the skillet with bacon grease. Cook until softened.
Add cream cheese, ranch seasoning, crumbled bacon, and jalapenos to a large bowl and mix thoroughly to combine.
Scoop out ½ cup of the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly across one side of each tortilla.
Starting at one end, tightly roll up each tortilla and place it on a baking sheet seam side down.
Cover the rolled tortillas in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for two hours or longer to soften and absorb the flavors. Then cut into one inch pieces with a serrated knife and serve.

The cream cheese will mix best at room temperature. Otherwise, you can warm it up easily by soaking the sealed package in warm water for ten minutes.
