Method
- Toss the onion with the lime juice, sugar and salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the tortillas, one at a time, for 1 minute or so on each side until golden, shaking any excess oil back into the pan. Push each tortilla into a small cereal bowl to form a cup, then leave to crisp up.
- Add the chillis, coriander and mint to the onion. Stir to combine and season to taste. Divide the avocado among the tostadas. Season and top with the crabmeat and a dollop of chilli salsa. Serve with the extra salsa on the side.
