Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 oz crabmeat, shredded
1 pkg 14oz tostadas
3/4 c finely diced onions
3/4 c finely diced fresh tomatoes
3/4 c finely diced cilantro
5 romaine lettuce leaves, finely shredded
1 or 2 chili serrano, deveined and deseeded, finely diced for spiceness (optional)
1 c mccormick mayonnaise/ mayonasa
1 tsp koser salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large avocado, slilced in wedges
tabasco sauce or homemade salsa
catsup

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, place the crabmeat, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lettuce. chili serranos (optional) and toss.
  • 2. Add salt, and pepper, and toss.
  • 3. Add Mayonnaise and fold into the above. THE SECRET TO THE THESE TOSTADAS IS THE BRAND OF "McCORMICK" MAYONNAISE/(MAYONASA MEANS MAYONNAISE). THIS IS THE MEXICAN VERSION. THIS MAYONNAISE IS FLAVORED WITH LEMON AND LIME JUICES. THIS MAYONNAISE CAN USUALLY BE FOUND IN HISPANIC MARKETS. I HAVE TRIED USING OTHER BRANDS, AND THE FLAVOR IS NOT THERE AT ALL. MAKE SURE YOU USE "McCORMICKS' BRAND. THIS IS WHAT GIVES IT A BANG.
  • 4. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of mixture on top of a tostada, top with 2 wedges of avocado. The tostadas can be additionally topped with chili Tapatio, or your own home made salsa. you can also add a few dribbles of catchup. These can be combined or separate, according to your taste.

These tostadas are just okay. I wouldn't make them again.

I'm not a fan of seafood, so I didn't really enjoy these tostadas.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make crab tostadas.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tostadas didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crab mixture was a bit bland, and the chipotle mayo was too spicy.

These tostadas are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. The flavors are incredible.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the tostadas still turned out great. I used canned crab meat instead of fresh, and I added a bit of diced onion to the avocado mixture.

The chipotle mayo is the perfect finishing touch for these tostadas. It adds a little bit of heat and smokiness.
