Iowa Party Bites
Iowa Party Bites are a delightful appetizer that combines the crunch of tortilla chips with a creamy, cheesy filling. They’re perfect for gatherings, game days, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 oz) bag Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 (15 oz) can sweet corn, drained
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles, mild or medium
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Baking Sheets:Â Lightly grease two large baking sheets or line them with parchment paper. Arrange the tortilla chips closely together, cup side up, to hold the filling.
- Mix Filling:Â In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, drained corn, green chiles, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Fill Chips:Â Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each tortilla chip. Be generous to ensure each bite is flavorful.
- Add Topping:Â Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the filled chips for a savory finish.
- Bake:Â Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve:Â Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider using hot green chiles or adding diced jalapeños to the filling.
- Ensure the corn is well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
- These bites are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
