Method

Dip Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend thoroughly until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Cheeses and Seafood

    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and the crab meat or shrimp gently to avoid breaking the pieces.

  3. 3

    Season the Dip

    Add chopped green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Dip

    Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles to create chips.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Chips

    Fry the tortilla triangles in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Season the Chips

    While still warm, sprinkle the fried chips with salt and paprika to taste.
