-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound cooked crabmeat -- picked over for shells
1 jalapeño -- to 2, or serrano chilies, seeded if desired and minced
4 scallions -- white and light green parts, sliced thin or minced
1/2 pound tomatoes -- finely diced (optional; omit if good tomatoes are not available)
2/3 cup corn kernels -- (fresh or thawed frozen), steamed for 5 minutes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice -- (more to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil -- (optional)
Salt -- to taste
9 corn tortillas -- cut into quarters or halves and toasted in the microwave
Sliced radishes -- (optional)

1. Toss together all of the ingredients except the tortillas and radishes.
If desired, warm through in a pan over medium heat, but don't cook the
crab, or it will become too tough.

2. Spoon the crab mixture onto the toasted tortilla halves or triangles.
Garnish with radish slices if desired and serve.

Yield: 6 main-dish servings or 10 appetizer servings.

Advance preparation: This should be served soon after it's mixed.

crabmeat tostada topping. Corn makes a nice addition too, but at this time
of year it will have to come from the freezer.
