CRAB SALAD TORTILLA WRAPS

Credit: Debber at Recipezaar

1 (16 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
2 stalks celery
1 tablespoon finely minced onions
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar (or two packets sugar substitute)
6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled
1/2 head lettuce (or spinach, Swiss chard, greens combined)
10 flour tortillas

1. In a mixing bowl, snip crab meat into fine pieces. Dice celery, mince onion, and add to crab. Stir and set aside.
2. Mash cream cheese, then add sour cream, mayo, lemon juice and sugar, mixing until creamy.
3. Pour cream cheese mixture to crab & veggies, mixing well. Set aside.
4. Using a pastry blender (or a fork), chop the eggs until crumbly-looking; set aside.
5. Shred the lettuce and set aside.
6. PUT IT TOGETHER: Spread about a 1/4-cup of crab mixture in a thin layer over a tortilla. Sprinkle with eggs and lettuce. Roll tortilla up very tightly.
7. LUNCH or PICNIC: Wrap each tortilla tightly in a slice of waxed-paper. Unwrap or cut in half and keep it neat!
8. PLANNED OVERS: Mix remaining crab, lettuce and egg, and have it for lunch the next day!
9. CHANGE OVERS: Add some French or Western dressing and a dab of horseradish with the mayonnaise to create more of a seafood saucey flavor. Yummmy! OR dip wrap in this! Even better!
10. Plan for two wraps per person, with "leftovers" being chilled and served for lunch the next day (or a late night snack?).
