Chesapeake Bay Crab Wraps

Chesapeake Bay Crab Wraps

Ingredients:

1 lb backfin Crab Meat

3 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/3 c. green onions, chopped

4 oz can green chilies, chopped

2 medium avocados, coarsely mashed

1 c. sprouts, lightly packed

6 burrito size flour tortillas or deli wraps

1 c. lettuce, shredded

8 medium cherry tomatoes



Directions:

Gently mix the crab meat, lime juice, green onions, and chilies. Do so with a light hand and a fork rather than spoon to keep the crab mixture fluffy. Set aside.

Warm the wraps in a toaster oven at medium heat for 30 seconds, just enough to make them pliable.
Spread mashed avocado on one side of each tortilla. Add crab mixture and alfalfa sprouts.

Starting at the edge of the filled wrap, carefully roll and cut each rolled wrap into two pieces. Lay on a bed of shredded lettuce.

Garnish with cherry tomatoes before serving.
