Crab Filling Preparation

Prepare the Crab Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Hat Base Preparation

Prepare the Tortilla Hats
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place one tortilla in the oil. Using a spatula, gently press down the center of the tortilla to create a 'hat' shape. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the second tortilla.

Assemble the Crab Hats
On each fried tortilla, place a few lettuce leaves as the base. Spoon a generous amount of the crab filling on top. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top.
