    Recipe Introduction


    Wrap it up -- rich crabmeat with sweet-tart fresh fruit, crunchy veggies, and zesty herbs and spices.
    Servings: 6

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons Olive Oil
    1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
    1 small red onion, finely chopped
    1 large firm-ripe tomato, cored and chopped
    1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
    1 pound shelled cooked crab
    12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

    Salsa

    1/2 cup chopped cucumber
    1 fresh jalapeno chili, stemmed, seeded, and minced
    1 cup diced fresh or canned pineapple
    1 teaspoon grated lime peel
    3 tablespoons lime juice
    2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
    Salt

    Recipe



    1. In a 10- to 12-inch pan over medium-high heat, stir oil, garlic, and onion often until onion begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomato and chilies; simmer until tomatoes are soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; add crab.
    2. Meanwhile, stack tortillas, wrap in foil, and warm in a 350 degrees F oven, about 10 minutes.
    3. To make salsa, mix cucumber, chili, pineapple, lime peel, lime juice, and cilantro.
    4. Spoon about 1/3 cup crab filling onto a tortilla; add salsa and salt to taste. Fold in half to enclose filling; repeat for remaining tacos.
