Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious Iowa Party Bites:
- 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
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Each ingredient adds to the rich, creamy, and slightly spicy profile of these bites. The Tostitos Scoops act as the perfect vessel, holding all the filling in place for easy serving and snacking.
How to Make Iowa Party Bites
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent the chips from sticking.
Prepare the Chips: Arrange the Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheets. Place them cup-side up, ensuring they’re ready to be filled with the cheesy mixture.
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, sweet corn, green chiles, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
Fill the Chips: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling into each tortilla chip cup, filling them generously. The mixture should sit slightly above the edge of the chips, ensuring a hearty bite.
Add Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the filled chips. This adds a deliciously savory finish and helps create a golden, crispy topping when baked.
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake the bites for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Serve: Remove the Iowa Party Bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve them warm for the best taste and texture.
