Ingredients
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 6 oz lump crab meat, drained and flaked
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
– 1 package wonton wrappers
– 1 bag tortilla chips
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Sweet chili sauce or other dipping sauce, for serving
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. 2. Place a heaping teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
3. 3. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F. Fry the crab rangoon in batches for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. 4. Arrange the tortilla chips on a large serving platter or baking sheet. Top with the fried crab rangoon.
5. 5. Serve immediately with the sweet chili sauce or other dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
– For a creamier filling, add 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese or sour cream to the crab mixture.
– Use a variety of nacho chips, such as plain, flavored, or even multicolored chips, for visual appeal.
– Garnish the nachos with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor and color.
