Taco Filling

Taco Assembly

Method

Prepare the Chili Lobster

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lobster meat and cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Season the Lobster

    Add the chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the lobster meat evenly with the spices. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt for flavor.

  3. 5

    Build the Tacos

    Spread a layer of mashed avocado on each warm tortilla. Top with the chili lobster, a generous amount of pickled onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for additional flavor.
