1. Prepare mayonnaise, if using. Then, in a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Fry the tortillas, 1 at a time, turning, until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. (This can be done ahead.)
2. In a large bowl, stir together the tomato, avocado, onion, serrano chile, cilantro, and lime juice. Add the crabmeat and salt. Toss gently to combine. To assemble, put 1 crisp tostada on each of 4 plates, and divide the lettuce equally among the tostadas. Spoon the crab mixture equally on top. Add a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise and serve at once.
