Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 pound lump crabmeat
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 jalapeño, stemmed and finely chopped
3 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, chopped
2 limes, finely grated zest and juice
Salt and black pepper
8 flat tostada shells, packaged or homemade
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
Garnish
Cilantro sprigs
2 limes, quartered

Steps:

Prepare the Crabmeat
Put the crabmeat in a bowl. Pick through it with your fingers to remove any cartilage.
Combine the Ingredients
Add the oil, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime zest and juice to the crabmeat. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold (or toss) all ingredients until well blended. Season well with salt and pepper.
Assemble and Serve
Top each tostada shell with a few slices of avocado, place a generous serving of the crabmeat mixture over it, and garnish with a sprig of cilantro. Serve each with a lime wedge.

Tips:

Use fresh crabmeat for the best flavor. Pre-cooked crabmeat from the grocery store will work in a pinch, but it will not be as flavorful as fresh crabmeat.
Season the crabmeat well. Crabmeat has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the crabmeat and make it more enjoyable.
Use a variety of toppings. The toppings for Mexican crab tostadas are endless, so get creative and use what you have on hand. Some popular toppings include avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled onions, and fresh cilantro.
Serve the tostadas immediately. Tostadas are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the tostadas from getting soggy and the toppings from wilting.

Conclusion:

Mexican crab tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Mexican crab tostadas a try!
