Crab Tacos with Chilli, Lime and Avocado (4)
On a recent trip to Mexico I dined out on Tacos a lot. I discovered that they could come in a variety of forms- sometimes with a soft tortilla, sometimes a crispier shell and sometimes wrapped. I never knew which version I was going to get, but they were all delicious. I particularly enjoyed them in a small cafe in Merida- it looked nothing from the outside but the Tacos definitely were up there with the best. These are from ” The Road to Mexico” by Rick Stein and make a great starter.

This is Thomasina Miers version and I cannot think of anyone better to turn to for a definitive recipe. If you cannot get hold of chipotles en adobe mix two tablespoons of tomato puree or ketchup with a tablespoon of hot smoked pimenton and add dried chillies to taste. Make this the day before if you can as the flavour will be much improved the next day.
