HOMEMADE CHILI LIME BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the vegetable oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Using a pastry brush or a silicone brush, lightly brush the tortillas with the lime spice mixture. Be sure to just lightly coat the tortillas in the mixture; do not oversaturate them. Flip over the tortillas and lightly coat the other side as well.
• Stack the tortillas and cut them in half, then cut each half into 3 chip-size wedges (6 wedges per tortilla). Transfer the wedges to 2 rimmed baking sheets and arrange them in an even layer, making sure not to overlap any. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wedges on both baking sheets.
• Bake until the chips are golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

CHILI CRAB DIP WITH SHRIMP CHIPS

Steps:

• Pulse or blend shallots, lemongrass, ginger, chile, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ cup water in a food processor or blender until a coarse purée forms.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Scrape purée into pan and cook, stirring often, until mixture darkens and thickens to the consistency of tomato paste, 12-15 minutes. If it begins to stick and brown, stir in a little water (about 1 Tbsp.), scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. (You should have about ⅔ cup.)
• Transfer mixture to a small bowl and vigorously mix in cream cheese and mayonnaise. Stir in crabmeat, half of the scallions, and half of the cilantro. Taste dip and season with more salt if needed.
• Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Top with remaining scallions and cilantro, then with fried shallots (if using). Serve with shrimp chips.
