Crab Nachos Recipe

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Cameron’s Lump Maryland Crab Meat
  • corn chips
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 small can yellow corn
  • 1 small can chopped green chilies
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2½ cups white cheddar, shredded
  • 1 avacado, peeled and chunked
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ cup chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Over medium heat melt your butter and oil in a small sauté pan.
  3. Add in the corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper and cook until the corn is golden brown.
  4. Add the garlic in for the last minute of cooking, as you don’t want it to burn. Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Add the lump Maryland crab meat, sour cream, mayonnaise, and green chilies to the hot spiced corn and mix carefully. You don’t want to break the crab meat up too much while stirring it.
  6. Leave the crab mixture in the sauté pan to keep it warm.
  7. Arrange a single layer of corn chips on a rimmed baking sheet and top with half the crab mixture and half the shredded white cheese. Bake in the oven for 2 minutes.
  8. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and arrange another layer of chips on top of the first layer and add the rest of the crab mixture and the shredded cheese on top of those chips.
  9. Now broil your nachos on the low broil setting until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble and brown.
  10. Take your nachos out of the oven and garnish chunks of avocado, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
