Steps:

• Grate cheese in a food processor and set aside. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate with a normal box grater. It will just take a bit longer.)
• Chop pecans and garlic with the steel blade in the food processor.
• Add softened cream cheese and pulse a couple of times.
• Add grated cheese and blend all together until smooth.
• Pour chili powder on a sheet of parchment paper (Wax paper will work also.)
• Form cheese into 2 logs and roll in the chili powder.
• Chill at least 24 hours. These rolls can also be frozen and used at a later date.
• Serve with crackers. A thick cracker, like Triscuits, works well here.
