Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 bag Tostitos Scoops tortilla chips (10 oz)
  • 1 block cream cheese, softened (8 oz) Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ea egg
  • 1 can sweet corn, drained (15 oz)
  • 1 can green chiles, mild or medium (4 oz) For a spicier version, use spicy chiles or add jalapeños.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese For topping before baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Lightly grease two large baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  3. Carefully arrange the tortilla scoops on the sheets with the cup side facing up.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella, egg, drained corn, chiles, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Using a spoon, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each tortilla chip, filling them generously.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the filled chips.
Baking
  1. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
