Carolina Crab Wrap Food

CRAB SALAD TORTILLA WRAPS * SUBWAY COPYCAT

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, snip crab meat into fine pieces. Dice celery, mince onion, and add to crab. Stir and set aside.
• Mash cream cheese, then add sour cream, mayo, lemon juice and sugar, mixing until creamy.
• Pour cream cheese mixture to crab & veggies, mixing well. Set aside.
• Using a pastry blender (or a fork), chop the eggs until crumbly-looking; set aside.
• Shred the lettuce and set aside.
• PUT IT TOGETHER: Spread about a 1/4-cup of crab mixture in a thin layer over a tortilla. Sprinkle with eggs and lettuce. Roll tortilla up very tightly.
• LUNCH or PICNIC: Wrap each tortilla tightly in a slice of waxed-paper. Unwrap or cut in half and keep it neat!
• PLANNED OVERS: Mix remaining crab, lettuce and egg, and have it for lunch the next day!
• CHANGE OVERS: Add some French or Western dressing and a dab of horseradish with the mayonnaise to create more of a seafood saucey flavor. Yummmy! OR dip wrap in this! Even better!
• Plan for two wraps per person, with "leftovers" being chilled and served for lunch the next day (or a late night snack?).
