Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 large jalapeño
0.33 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
0.25 cup canola oil
4 6-in. corn tortillas
8 ounces cooked jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
2 stalks celery, finely chopped (½ cup), plus leaves for serving
1 small shallot, finely chopped (2 Tbsp.)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Thinly sliced radishes, for serving
Green pepper hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat. Place jalapeño on a baking sheet and broil until charred in spots, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Finely chop and transfer to a small bowl; stir in mayonnaise and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tortilla; cook, flipping once and pressing down with a spatula for even coloring, until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining 3 tortillas. (Reduce heat as needed if tortillas get too dark around edges.) Season fried tortillas with ¼ teaspoon salt.
Stir crabmeat, celery, shallot, lime juice, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl until combined. Spread jalapeño mayonnaise over tortillas and top with crabmeat mixture. Top with radishes, celery leaves, and hot sauce (if using).
