Carefully pick through the crab meat to ensure there are no shell fragments. Set it aside in a bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a separate mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, finely chopped red chili, minced garlic, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Drizzle the olive oil over the prepared crab meat, then gently fold the crab into the avocado mixture. Be careful not to break up the crab too much, as you want to maintain its delicate texture.
Lay out the tortilla chips on a serving platter. Using a spoon or piping bag, place a dollop of the crab and avocado dip onto each chip.
Garnish each chip with a quartered cherry tomato and a few sprigs of microgreens for a fresh, gourmet presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant dish with your guests!
