Spiced Crab Tacos


Ingredients
  • 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped 
  • 2 large red radishes, cut into 1/4-inch dice 
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped 
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  •  2 teaspoons Sriracha chile sauce Salt 
  • 1 large jalapeño 
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/3-inch dice 
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/3-inch dice 
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint 
  • 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shell 
  • Eight 10-inch flour tortillas, halved or quartered

How to Make It
Step 1    In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, radishes, red onion, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro and the Sriracha. Season the salsa with salt.
Step 2    Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the jalapeño over moderate heat, turning, until charred all over. Let cool, then discard the charred skin, stem and seeds. Finely chop the jalapeño.
Step 3    In another medium bowl, combine the jalapeño, red and yellow bell peppers, olive oil, lime juice, mint and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cilantro. Gently fold in the crabmeat and season with salt.
Step 4    Grill the tortillas over high heat until puffed and charred in spots, about 20 seconds per side. Serve the spiced crab with the warm tortillas and salsa.
