Equipment

Ingredients

For the crab mixture

  • 6 ounces crab meat (drained - can substitute with fresh or packaged crab)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 green onion (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the nachos

  • 6 ounces restaurant-style tortilla chips
  • 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or Mozzarella)
  • 1 green onion (diced)
  • ¼ cup sweet and sour sauce (can use homemade)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, gently combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
  • On the baking sheet, layer the tortilla chips, topped with the crab mixture, spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, and sweet-and sour sauce on top.
  • Bake until melted, bubbling, and some spots are browning, approximately 7-10 minutes.

Notes

Notes about ingredients and substitutions
  • Instead of real crab, you can use imitation crab, shrimp, or white fish like tilapia or cod.
Storage instructions
  • Store leftover crab nachos in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To minimize sogginess, place a paper towel in the container to absorb moisture. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 300°F until crispy.
