sacback from America (Contact Member) -

6 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)

4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, grated

1/4 cup sour cream

1 pickled jalape?o, minced, plus

1 to 2 tablespoons pickling liquid from jar

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground

8 ounces crabmeat, fresh or frozen

1/2 cup sliced artichoke hearts (optional)

3 dozen tortilla chips

1 pickled jalape?o, sliced thin

Minced scallion tops (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a bowl, mix together cheeses, sour cream, jalape?o, pickling liquid, garlic and cumin until well blended. Fold in the crabmeat and artichokes, if desired. Spread each chip with a layer of the topping mixture. Place the chips on a heatproof baking dish or platter. Sprinkle the sliced jalape?o over everything. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and a little bubbly.

Scatter scallion tops over the nachos and serve immediately.

I would never have put the two together. What a good mix. I'm going to try this at the next party I go to.

Hmmm, I don't really like crabs. Can they be replaced with other sorts of meat?
