Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lobster meat cooked see notes
- 1 Tbsp butter melted
- 1 lime juice and zest
- salt to taste
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- ½ cup white onion chopped
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup red cabbage sliced
- 3 tomato diced (roma or heirloom
- 2 medium avocado sliced
- 3 radish sliced
- ¼ cup cheese crumbled queso fresco, or your favorite such as Monterey jack, optional
Instructions
- Place the lobster meat in a bowl. Add the melted butter and lime zest, and toss to coat. Add salt to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the cilantro, onion, and lime juice.
- Warm the tortillas
For the Assembly:
- Add lobster and cilantro mixture to a corn tortilla.
- Sprinkle on the desired amount of tomatoes, radishes, cheese, sliced avocado, and chopped red cabbage to each tortilla.
Notes
- To cook the lobster meat, place 4 to 6 fresh or thawed lobster tails in a shallow pan. Add enough water just to cover the bottom. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 3 to5 minutes or until the shells are bright red and the meat is opaque. Remove the tails from the pan and let cool before removing the meat from the shell.
- When cooking the lobster from scratch, be careful not to overcook the lobster as it’ll taste rubbery and unpleasant.
- To warm the tortillas, place the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet, heating both sides for a could of seconds.
- If you have a mandolin, you can use that to slice your cabbage thinly easily. Use a slicing guard to protect your fingers.
- The lime adds a brightness and freshness to the lobster, do not swap for bottled lime juice as some bottled lime juices have a slightly bitter taste.
- Double or even triple this recipe or make some extra shrimp tacos and chicken tacos to turn dinner into a taco party!
- Add some jalapeños or habañeros to add some heat to the tacos.
- If cilantro tastes like soap, swap it in some parsley or chives!
