Ingredients
- 1/2 of an English cucumber
- 1 medium dressed crab (or if you don't want to cook the crab, look for 1 lb. lump crab meat)
- 4 small whole wheat tortillas (but feel free to use regular flour tortillas)
- 8 tbsp. hoisin sauce
- Ground black pepper
Directions
Cut the cucumber into small, even-sized batons (julienne cut them). Scoop the dressed crab into a small mixing bowl, add a little freshly ground black pepper and mix lightly to combine.
Heat the tortillas gently, one at a time, in a heavy frying pan until they begin to color on each side. If you're brave, you can also cook tortilla shells directly over the flame if you have a gas stove - just make sure to watch them carefully so they do not burn.
Spread a tortilla with 2 tbsp. of the hoisin sauce, then sprinkle with a quarter of the cucumber. Arrange a quarter of the seasoned crab meat down the center of each tortilla and roll up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately.
