Prepare Seafood Filling

1. Cook the Seafood

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add shrimp and scallops, cooking until opaque. Stir in crab meat, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

2. Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine the cooked seafood mixture with softened cream cheese and chopped green onions. Mix well until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Lay out the tortillas and divide the seafood filling evenly among them. Fold tortillas over filling and secure with toothpicks if necessary.

5. Fry the Chimis

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the filled tortillas until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
