Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons canned adobo sauce (from chipotle chiles in adobo)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper (from about 1/2 bell pepper)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
1 pound cooked Dungeness crab meat, picked
4 avocados, peeled, pitted

Steps:

  • Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, adobo sauce, ketchup and lime juice together in a large bowl. Season with some salt and pepper. Fold in the bell peppers and chopped cilantro. Then fold in the crab.
  • Cut a thin slice off the rounded side of the avocadoes so that they sit flat on a plate. Place the avocado halves, flat-side down, on a platter. Fill the cavities with the crab mixture, dividing equally. Garnish with a cilantro sprig. Serve cold.
