Crab tostadas, red onion & sweetcorn salsa and avocado
A quick and easy summer tostada recipe
Ingredients
For the salsa
½ red onion, finely diced
½ red pepper, finely diced
½ green pepper, finely diced
A large handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped (keep some aside for the garnish)
200g sweetcorn kernels
1 green chilli, finely diced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
½ teaspoon sugar
For the tostadas
200g white crab meat
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to season
4 corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado, quartered and sliced
A pinch of chilli flakes
A glug of oil for frying
Method
Make the salsa first. Add everything into a bowl, stir and leave to marinate.
In a mixing bowl, add the crab, zest and lime juice, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large, lightly-oiled, non-stick frying pan. Add the tortillas one at a time and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden. Once both sides are done, remove from the heat and sit them inside a bowl to shape into cups. Leave the tortilla in the bowl while you do the next one.
Divide the crab filling between the tortilla cups, add a quarter of sliced avocado to each one, sprinkle with a few chilli flakes and serve with the salsa.
