    List of Ingredients




    3 to 4 serrano chilies, seeded and minced
    2 tsp vegetable oil
    1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
    2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and minced
    1 (8-ounce) pkg. light cream cheese, softened
    3 Tbsp light mayonnaise
    2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
    2 Tbsp minced cilantro
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp paprika
    1 stalk celery, minced
    1/2 lb. crab meat

    Tortilla chips







    Recipe



    In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes.


    Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, cumin and paprika in a food processor, or work together with a wooden spoon. Add the cooked onion-garlic mixture, chilies, celery and crab meat. Process or work together until blended.


    Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate. (Use the dip within 24 hours. To quickly take the chill off of the dip, put into a microwave oven for about 30 to 60 seconds at 50% power.) Serve with tortilla chips.

    Makes about 3 cups.
