Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Tostitos tortilla chip scoops
  • 1 cup Frozen Corn
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack Cheese (or other favorite cheese)
  • 2 Fresh Jalapenos
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Then, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature cream cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, and egg. Then, add the frozen corn and mix.
  • Next, spread tortilla chip scoops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Some of the Tostitos scoops will be broken, but use only the ones still intact to hold the filling.
  • Fill each chip scoop with two teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  • Remove from the oven and finish with sliced fresh jalapeños and chopped cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
