-------- ------------ --------------------------------
24 oz Cream cheese
2 tb Mayonnaise -- the real thing
1 ds Tabasco
1/4 c Green onions -- minced

16 oz Can black olives -- finely

1/2 lb Crabmeat -- flaked

The best way to prepare this recipe in a food processor, because it
chops the ingredients finely enough and blends them together for
you. But if a food processor is not handy, you can use a blender
and a chef's knife. It will still come out great, no matter how you
do it!
First, mix the cream cheese to a pasty consistency. It has to be
soft and pliable. Then, in a large mixing bowl, whip together the
cheese and the mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth. Toss in the
Tabasco at this point and blend it in, too. Next, add the minced
onions, the celery, the seasonings, the finely chopped black
olives, and the crabmeat. Just put them all together -- it's not
necessary to add them one at a time. But is *is* necessary to blend
them all *gently*. If you get rough, you'll smash the ingredients
and you'll lose the crispness.
When you're ready to serve, lay out the *whole* bag of Doritos on a
pizza pan and stuff each one, heaping on the crabmeat mixture and
sprinkling the tops with paprika. To increase the flavor, put the
stuffed chips in the refrigerator for an hour or two.
Author's note: While crabmeat is used in the original dish, you can
also substitute chopped shrimp or crawfish for the crabmeat, and
the basic mix is also excellent for stuffing avocados, tomatoes,
celery stalks, and just about anyting your taste dictates.
Note from me: I don't care for Nacho Cheese Flavor Doritos but
instead these are great with the unsalted style chips you get with
salsa at Mexican restaurants.
