Ingredients
-
1 bag Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup shredded jalapeño pepper jack cheese
-
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed)
-
1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat. This temperature ensures the cheese melts perfectly while gently toasting the tortilla cups.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine:
-
Softened cream cheese
-
Shredded jalapeño pepper jack cheese
-
Corn kernels
-
Beaten egg
Mix well until you have a smooth, uniform filling with evenly distributed corn.
3. Fill the Tortilla Cups
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the Tostitos Scoops in a single layer, spaced apart. Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, fill each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion while baking.
4. Bake Until Golden
Place the filled cups in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. Keep an eye on them toward the end — the filling should bubble, and the chip edges will turn a golden brown.
5. Cool and Serve
Let the appetizers cool for 3–5 minutes before serving. This helps the filling to set slightly while keeping it creamy and melty.
