Instructions
Add softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and sour cream to a mixing bowl.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or spoon.
Incorporate diced bell peppers, sliced green onions, and taco seasoning into the mixture.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the vibrant ingredients throughout.
Dampen your hands with water or oil to prevent sticking.

Roll the cheese ball wreath in the crushed chips until fully coated.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added visual appeal and aroma.
