Method

  1. Heat a griddle pan to medium-high. Stamp out 4 x 10cm circles from each wrap with a pastry cutter, to make 12 tostadas in total, and lightly brush with a little of the oil. Cook on the griddle pan for 30 seconds each side, until char lines appear.
  2. Brush the cobs with the remaining oil and griddle for 10 mins, turning, until charred and tender. Remove from the pan, cool then slice off the kernels by cutting down the length of the cobs.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the chilli sauce with the vinegar and 1/3 of the lime juice.
  4. Gently mix the kernels with the crab meat, peppers, onions, coriander and remaining lime juice. Load onto the tostadas with some rocket leaves and drizzle over the sauce to serve.

Tip: Reserve any tortilla scraps and blend in a food processor to make breadcrumbs.
