Crab Salad Tortilla Wraps * Subway Copycat image

The kids told me this was definitely a "keeper" of a recipe. The hard-boiled egg really adds some depth to the flavor. Add your own flavorites to accommodate your family's tastebuds.

Provided by Debber

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 41m

Yield 10 wraps + 1 salad, 5-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
2 stalks celery
1 tablespoon finely minced onion
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar (or two packets sugar substitute)
6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled
1/2 head lettuce (or spinach, Swiss chard, greens combined)
10 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, snip crab meat into fine pieces. Dice celery, mince onion, and add to crab. Stir and set aside.
  • Mash cream cheese, then add sour cream, mayo, lemon juice and sugar, mixing until creamy.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture to crab & veggies, mixing well. Set aside.
  • Using a pastry blender (or a fork), chop the eggs until crumbly-looking; set aside.
  • Shred the lettuce and set aside.
  • PUT IT TOGETHER: Spread about a 1/4-cup of crab mixture in a thin layer over a tortilla. Sprinkle with eggs and lettuce. Roll tortilla up very tightly.
  • LUNCH or PICNIC: Wrap each tortilla tightly in a slice of waxed-paper. Unwrap or cut in half and keep it neat!
  • PLANNED OVERS: Mix remaining crab, lettuce and egg, and have it for lunch the next day!
  • CHANGE OVERS: Add some French or Western dressing and a dab of horseradish with the mayonnaise to create more of a seafood saucey flavor. Yummmy! OR dip wrap in this! Even better!
  • Plan for two wraps per person, with "leftovers" being chilled and served for lunch the next day (or a late night snack?).

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 pint lump crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell and cartilage
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (recommended: sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint lump crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell and cartilage
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (recommended: sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 center-cut beef tenderloin steaks, each about 2 inches thick (about 2 pounds total) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint vine-ripened red cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 center-cut beef tenderloin steaks, each about 2 inches thick (about 2 pounds total) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint vine-ripened red cherry tomatoes, washed and dried
1 bunch arugula
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch arugula
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir the crabmeat together with the mayonnaise, chili paste, cilantro, and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • For the turf: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put a cast iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and get it hot. Drizzle in a 2-count of oil. If you choose to tie the fillets, take a piece of butchers twine and wrap it around each fillet twice to form a nice round shape. This will help the meat retain its shape while cooking. Sprinkle the beef all over with salt and pepper and sear for about 3 minutes on each side, until well browned. Shove the beef to the side and add the tomatoes to the pan; drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir gently to coat. Now put the pan in the oven and roast until the beef is rare and the tomatoes burst, 7 to 8 minutes. (Add 2 more minutes for medium rare, 5 more minutes for medium.)
  • For service: Wash the arugula and toss it in a bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with a few turns of freshly ground black pepper.
  • To serve, arrange the steaks on a serving plate. Spoon the crab salad over the meat and scatter the tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with a small tangle of dressed arugula and a glass of rose wine.

Tips:

  • For the freshest crab salad, use freshly cooked crab meat. If using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to your liking. If you like a spicier salad, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a vegetarian or vegan version of this salad, use tofu or tempeh instead of crab meat.
  • Serve the crab salad on tortillas, crackers, or bread. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
