In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center.

Transfer fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for varied flavors.

Enhance the filling with diced chicken, steak, or shrimp for extra protein.
