Disappointed by restaurant lobster tacos, I created this recipe for great at-home lobster tacos my family enjoys. I used my grill pan for cooking inside.

Ingredients

  • 4 lobster tails

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup red guajillo chile sauce (such as Herdez®)

  • 1 tomato, diced, divided

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • ¼ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

  • 1 small avocado, sliced

  • ½ cup shredded lettuce

Directions

  1. Preheat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Cut lobster tails in half lengthwise along the spine. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill until slightly charred and shells are bright in color, about 5 minutes. Remove lobster meat from the shells and chop coarsely.

  3. Combine chile sauce, 1/2 the tomato, and green onions in a large bowl. Mix in chopped lobster meat.

  4. Divide Colby-Monterey Jack cheese evenly among tortillas. Top each tortilla with some of the lobster mixture. Fold tacos over and grill until cheese melts and tortillas are lightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Garnish with remaining tomato, avocado, and shredded lettuce.

Recipe Tip

Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas if preferred.
