Pimento Cheese

Method

Pimento Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, diced pimentos, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the pimento cheese for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 3

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles or strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

  2. 4

    Fry the Chips

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tortilla pieces in batches, frying until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 5

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.
