 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
   24       oz           Cream cheese
    2       tb           Mayonnaise -- the real thing
            ds           Tabasco
      1/4   c            Green onions -- minced
      1/4   c            Celery -- coarsely chopped
            ds           Paprika
                         Salt and pepper, to taste
    1       cn           Black olives -- finely
                         -chopped (16 oz. can)
      1/2   lb           Crabmeat -- flaked
    1                    Nacho cheese flavor doritos
 
       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 kniofe.  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.
