Iowa Party Bites
A little crunch, a little sweetness, and plenty of melted cheese—these Iowa Party Bites pack a lot into one tortilla scoop! Cream cheese and mozzarella make a creamy filling, sweet corn adds a juicy pop, and green chiles bring just enough kick. A sprinkle of Parmesan finishes each bite with a savory, golden top.
The scoop-shaped chips do the work of holding everything together, so there’s no pastry to roll or dough to shape. Just mix the filling, spoon it into the chips, and bake until the cheese is bubbling.
They’re a fun addition to game day, holiday gatherings, or an evening with friends. Choose mild or medium green chiles to suit your crowd, and serve them warm while the filling is soft and the chips are crisp.
