Description

These tortilla corn appetizers are a perfect blend of crispy, cheesy, and savory flavors. The addition of jalapeño pepperjack cheese gives it a spicy kick, while the sweet corn adds a nice balance. A quick and easy treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

1 bag of Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips

1 cup of cream cheese, softened

1 cup of shredded jalapeño pepperjack cheese

1 cup of corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)

1 egg, beaten


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded jalapeño pepperjack cheese, corn kernels, and the beaten egg. Mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
  3. Arrange the Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Spoon a small amount of the cheese and corn mixture into each tortilla chip. Be careful not to overfill.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chips are slightly golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the appetizers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

  • If you prefer less spice, swap out the jalapeño pepperjack cheese for regular cheddar cheese.
  • For added flavor, try mixing in some cooked, crumbled bacon or diced grilled chicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • You can freeze the uncooked appetizers. Bake from frozen for 15-18 minutes at 350°F.
