Crab Tacos image

My Aunt Kate spotted this recipe for me. I can't wait to try it! Although the recipe calls for taco shells, I'll probably use warmed soft corn tortillas or tostada shells. From Sunset Kitchen Cabinet.

CREMA



Crema image

Crema is thinner than sour cream, a little more tangy and slightly salty. You can sometimes find it in stores, but it's very simple to make at home by combining sour cream with heavy cream and lime juice (you could use buttermilk instead) and allowing it to set up at room temperature for a few hours, until it turns into a kind of liquid velvet. It's marvelous with fish tacos, as a dressing for hot slaw, or drizzled over roasted carrots or sweet potatoes. Once you start using it, you will use it all the time.

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Whisk the sour cream and heavy cream together in a bowl, then add the salt and the lime juice, and whisk again. Cover the bowl, and allow it to sit at room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours and ideally overnight. It will thicken nicely. Use right away, or transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

  • Place all ingredients for the avocado sauce into the food processor and run until very smooth. Place in serving dish.
  • Drain a few tablespoons of juice from salsa and add to saucepan. Add crab, salt and melted butter; mix thoroughly, being careful to keep crab pieces from falling apart. Heat crab mixture over low heat until very warm.
  • Heat tortillas in a cast-iron skillet or griddle, overlapping as necessary but ensuring that at least half of each tortilla is touching the pan. Remove when either warmed or leave slightly longer to get a light char.
