Spicy Crab Salad On Tortillas Recipes

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?).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first 12 ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour., Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll each pastry into a 10-in. square; cut each into twenty-five 2-in. squares. Using a round 1-1/2-in. cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half the puff pastry squares. Whisk egg and water; brush over pastry. Place cutout squares on top of solid squares; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets., Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Once cool, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of crab salad into center of each cooked pastry. If desired, top with minced parsley and seasoning. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients; gently stir in crab. If desired, spread over bread. Serve with lime wedges if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onion, relish and mustard. Stir in the crab, cheese and bacon if desired. Spoon about 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla; roll up tightly.

Steps:

• Combine salad ingredients in a bowl, toss with tortilla chip pieces. In a second bowl, combine taco sauce, lime juice, cilantro or parsley. Whisk in olive oil in a slow stream until dressing is combined. Toss salad with dressing to combine and coat ingredients evenly, then serve.

Steps:

• In a small dry skillet over medium heat, add the chiles, chili powder, coriander, cumin, oregano, paprika, and cinnamon stick. Heat just until the ingredients become fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Put the spices into a grinder and pulse to a powder. Massage the dry chili rub into the steaks; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• For the crab salad: Put the crabmeat in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, shallots, cilantro, chili sauce, and lime juice. Mix gently to combine the ingredients without breaking up the large lumps of crabmeat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you want to grill them to bring them up to room temperature. Heat the grill; brush the grate with some olive oil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. When the steaks are cooked to your liking, put them on a platter, cover them with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve a generous scoop of crab meat on top of the steaks. Garnish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the onion and half the chilli for 5 mins until softened. Tip in the spices, fry for 1 min more, then add the cherry tomatoes, potatoes and coriander stalks to the pan. Season the eggs well, pour over the top of the veg and leave to cook gently for 8-10 mins until almost set.
• Heat the grill and flash the tortilla underneath for 1-2 mins until the top is set. Scatter the coriander leaves and remaining chilli over the top, slice into wedges and serve with a green salad.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, celery, mayonnaise, celery seed, paprika, sugar, pepper, seafood seasoning and parsley. Mix well and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Toss celery, tomatoes, mint, jalapeño, lime juice, oil, Old Bay, and salt in a large bowl. Gently mix in crab meat.
• Spread tostadas with Creamy Avocado Dip and top with salad. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare mayonnaise, if using. Then, in a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Fry the tortillas, 1 at a time, turning, until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. (This can be done ahead.) 2. In a large bowl, stir together the tomato, avocado, onion, serrano chile, cilantro, and lime juice. Add the crabmeat and salt. Toss gently to combine. To assemble, put 1 crisp tostada on each of 4 plates, and divide the lettuce equally among the tostadas. Spoon the crab mixture equally on top. Add a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise and serve at once. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
