This Crab Tacos recipe is so easy and so flavorful! With fresh Dungeness crab, or another use another species, a creamy cilantro lime crema, and a simple and flavorful corn salsa. These seafood tacos are a staple easy dinner for my household!
Shuck and cut corn off the cob and place in a bowl.
To the bowl, add cut tomatoes, diced green onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, lime zest and juice, olive oil and salt. Then stir and set aside, or set in fridge covered.
Garlic Cilantro Seafood Taco Sauce (optional)
In a blender or food processor, add the garlic, cilantro, mayo, salt and lime juice. Blend until mixed thoroughly.
Add the sour cream and stir to combine. Place in fridge to get cold and harden a bit if you have time, otherwise serve as is.
To Assemble the Tacos
In a skillet on medium-high heat, add in about ½ tablespoon of butter, and let melt. Add corn tortillas to crisp on one side, then flip.
Immediately add a handful of cheese and crab to top of each tortilla. Once the cheese has melted and the crab is warmed, remove the tacos and place on a serving plate, covered. Repeat these steps with all the tortillas.
Top each taco with corn salad and cilantro lime sauce to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer cooked corn - feel free to cook it! If you're short on time, place the corn with the husk and all, in the microwave for 5-6 minutes. Allow to cool. Then peel. Cooking the corn in the microwave makes it incredibly easy to shuck it!HAVE LEFTOVER CRAB? Make my Omelet Recipe!
