Ingredients
  

For the Tortilla Scoops
  • 1 bag Tortilla Scoops Use store-bought tortilla chips or scoop-shaped tortillas for ease of preparation.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese Provides a creamy texture; substitute with cheddar for a sharper flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Corn (Canned or Frozen) Adds a touch of sweetness and texture; fresh corn works great if you want to elevate the freshness.
  • 1 can Green Chiles Offers a delightful kick; swap for jalapeños for extra spice, or omit for a milder option.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Iowa Party Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a large bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened mozzarella cheese, drained corn, and chopped green chiles. Stir until well-blended and creamy.
  3. Carefully spoon the cheesy mixture into each tortilla scoop, filling them generously but not overfilling. Arrange on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the tortillas turn golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving, ideally with a side of salsa or guacamole.
