Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature or microwaving briefly until it reaches a pasty, pliable consistency.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Add the Tabasco sauce to the cheese mixture and blend thoroughly to distribute the heat evenly.
  4. Gently fold in the minced green onions, coarsely chopped celery, finely chopped black olives, and flaked crabmeat.
  5. Mix the ingredients gently to combine, being careful not to crush the crabmeat or lose the crunch of the vegetables.
  6. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Lay out the whole bag of nacho chips (Doritos) on a large serving platter or pizza pan.
  8. Heaping spoonfuls of the crab mixture onto each chip to stuff them generously.
  9. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed chips with paprika for color and flavor.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for one to two hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
