Crab Tostada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Jalapeño Butter

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped jalapeño and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

2

Combine Crab Mixture

In a bowl, gently mix the fresh crab meat, lime juice, fermented chili morita, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3

Prepare Avocado

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces or mash it lightly, depending on your preference.

4

Assemble the Tostadas

On each corn tostada, spread a layer of jalapeño butter. Top with the crab mixture, followed by slices or pieces of avocado. Finally, sprinkle crispy leeks on top for added crunch.

5

Serve

Serve the crab tostadas immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
