Ingredients

Tostitos Scoops Tortilla Chips:

    1 (10 oz) bag

  3. Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, apricot preserves, and chopped jalapeños until well mixed.
  4. Fill Chips: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each tortilla chip.

    For a spicier kick, you can use hot pickled jalapeños instead of tamed.
    Experiment with different flavors of jam or preserves for unique variations.
