All you need is a little lime juice, cilantro and chili pepper for this crabmeat tostada topping. Corn makes a nice addition too, but at this time of year it will have to come from the freezer.

1 pound cooked crabmeat, picked over for shells
1 to 2 jalapeño or serrano chilies, seeded if desired and minced
4 scallions, white and light green parts, sliced thin or minced
1/2 pound tomatoes, finely diced (optional; omit if good tomatoes are not available)

9 corn tortillas, cut into quarters or halves and toasted in the microwave
Sliced radishes (optional)

Steps:

Toss together all of the ingredients except the tortillas and radishes. If desired, warm through in a pan over medium heat, but don't cook the crab, or it will become too tough.
Spoon the crab mixture onto the toasted tortilla halves or triangles. Garnish with radish slices if desired and serve.

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 lb lump crabmeat
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
1 jalapeno, stemmed and finely chopped
3 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup lightly packed cilantro leaf, chopped
2 limes, finely grated zest and juice
salt and black pepper
8 flat tostadas (packaged or homemade fried or baked to crisp)
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
fresh cilantro stem
2 limes, quartered

Steps:

PREPARE:.
Put the crabmeat in a bowl.
Pick through it with your fingers to remove any cartilage.
COMBINE:.
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:.
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.
OPTION:.
Another more casual option is to put the crabmeat mixture in a bowl or platter and serve the tortillas alongside, allowing your guests to make their own tostadas. In this case, dice the avocado and fold it into the crabmeat mixture.
