Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, crab meat, cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Assembly
- Take a corn tortilla and place about a tablespoon of the filling towards one edge. Roll it up tightly like a burrito and tuck in the sides.
Frying
- Heat a skillet with a thin layer of cooking oil over medium heat. Place the nacho sticks seam side down and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving
- Drain on paper towels for a minute. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Avoid overstuffing the tortilla to prevent spills during frying. You can prep the filling in advance. For an extra kick, add chopped jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
