Number Of Ingredients 12

For cumin pita toasts
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (6-inch) pitas with pockets, halved horizontally
For crab mixture
1/4 lb jumbo lump crabmeat
1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Dash of Tabasco

Steps:

  • Make toasts:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Stir together oils, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste and brush on cut sides of pitas. Cut each pita half into 8 wedges and arrange, cut sides up, on a large baking sheet.
  • Bake pitas in middle of oven until edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool (toasts will continue to crisp as they cool).
  • Make crab mixture while pitas are baking:
  • Stir together crab ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top each toast with some crab.
