• 2 cups Red cabbage, shredded
• 1 Carrot, shredded

• 2 Lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1 Jalapeño, de-seeded and minced
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 Green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the slaw: In a medium bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, and chopped cilantro. Add the juice of 1 lime, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

Next, make the avocado sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, juice of 1 lime, minced garlic, and minced jalapeño. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the crab meat: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh crab meat and sprinkle paprika evenly over the meat. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring gently, until heated through. Add a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 4

Warm the corn tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for 15–30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

Step 5

Assemble the tacos: Place a generous spoonful of the prepared cabbage slaw on each tortilla, followed by a portion of warmed crab meat. Drizzle the avocado sauce over the top and garnish with chopped green onions.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful crab meat tacos.
