Crab Ceviche Tostada

October 5, 2011 By Lokness 2 Comments

These Imitation Crab Ceviche Tostadas are perfect for a hot summer day! Cold, crunchy, refreshing, light and satisfying! Made with imitation crab, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lemon juice and tostadas.

This recipe is from Bryan’s mom. Bryan has been eating this growing up. We’re not too sure if this is a Salvadoran dish, but probably a Salvadoran inspired dish.

One time, Bryan made me this ceviche, and I just fallen in love. The ceviche was sweet and fresh. There is the acidity from the tomatoes and lemon juice. The crispy tostadas gave some good texture and slight toasted flavors. Most importantly, this is cold dish (except for the warm tostadas), so it’s perfect for hot summer days. Although you may not want to turn the oven on to warm the tostadas, I highly recommend you to do so. It only has to be on for about 20-ish minutes including preheat time. The tostadas tasted so much better after warming. I would never skip the toasting part personally.

Bryan and I usually just made a big bowl of ceviche, and just ate tons of ceviche tostadas for dinner. But you can serve this as an appetizer. Give this a try!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces imitation crab leg meat (diced)
  • 2 tomatoes (cut into small dices)
  • ½ white or yellow onion (cut into small dices)
  • 4 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 2½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1½ lemons)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 7 – 8 tostadas

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine imitation crab, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well. It is ok if some of the imitation crab start to fall apart. Taste and adjust with more lemon juice and salt if needed. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200˚F (95˚C).
  • Place tostadas on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for 3 minutes or until warm. Transfer the tostadas to serving plates. Scoop ceviche on a tostada and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. This recipe is for 7 – 8 tostadas, which is enough to serve as dinner for 2 people. If you’re serving this as appetizer, it’s good for 7 – 8 people. 
  2. Tostada is a fried corn tortilla. Instead of coming in little triangles like tortilla chips, these are round just like a tortilla. Top them with all different kind of things and eat as whole. You can easily find them in grocery stores in a pack along with the regular tortillas. My go-to brand is Guerrero. 
  3. Tostada taste so much better after a quick toasting in the oven. It’s a must for me. 
  4. Do not top the tostada with ceviche until the last moment before serving. Soggy tostada is not that good.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
