Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 17

Vegetable oil (for frying)
20 4-inch-diameter corn tortillas (cut from larger corn tortillas, if necessary)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small poblano chilies,* thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced onion
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced seeded jalapeño chili
3/4 pound crabmeat, coarsely flaked
1/2 cup seeded chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
1/3 cup coarsely chopped toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, diced
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat enough vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat to reach depth of 1 inch. Working in batches, add tortillas and fry until crisp, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (Fried tortillas can be made 1 day ahead. Cool tortillas completely and store in resealable plastic bag at room temperature.)
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add poblano chilies, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and jalapeño; sauté until just beginning to soften, about 12 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; cool.
  • Mix crab, tomatoes, Cotija cheese, pumpkin seeds, cilantro, and lime juice into vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper. (Crab mixture can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat broiler. Place tortillas in single layer on 2 baking sheets. Top with crab mixture and avocado. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 30 seconds, then serve.
  • *Fresh green chilies that are often called pasillas; available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.

These tostadas were delicious! The crab chili was perfectly seasoned and the avocado added a great freshness. I will definitely be making these again.
