I make a lot of dips and this is the most requested. It travels well and can be made ahead of time. If I have the time I like to make it with homemade tortilla chips. I'll cut up and bake corn tortilla with a little oil and salt. —leigh frat

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces crab meat
  • 2 cans artichoke hearts sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 1 pickled jalapeno finely chopped plus 1 -2 tbs pickling liquid
  • 3 scallions finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • tortilla chips
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a bowl combine the room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeno, scallions, lime juice, artichoke hearts, cilantro, salt and pepper.
  3. Add one tablespoon of the pickling liquid. I'll keep tasting and adding until I have the heat level I like. I like it when I can taste the heat at the back of my throat. Not too overpowering.
  4. Fold in the crab meat.
  5. Bake 20-25 minutes until heated through and bubbling.
  6. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

If your husband is being crabby, this will quiet him. Love the clean and simple ingredients - and the ease of the preparation. My new favorite dip! Being from Maryland, can't help but sprinkle a little Old Bay on the top before serving.
