Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, ensuring that the crab meat remains intact.

  2. 2

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 3

    Warm Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. This will make them easier to fold without breaking.

Assemble Tacos

  2. 5

    Serve

    Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious crab meat tacos!
