Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
In a bowl, toss together the zucchini, crab meat, jalapenos, onion, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime zest and juice, 1½ teaspoons salt and pepper. Set aside. Place the avocado, yogurt and remaining salt in a food processor and pulse to produce a coarse puree.
Step 2
Steam the tortillas until softened. Place a heaping ¼ cup of the crab mixture in the center of each one and roll the tortilla around it. Divide the greens among 4 plates and place 2 of the tortillas on each plate. Top with a large dollop of the avocado sauce, sprinkle with the tomatoes and remaining cilantro and serve.
