    • Step-by-Step Method for Lobster Tacos
    • Gather all ingredients and kitchen tools (sharp knife, cutting board, mixing bowls, sauté pan, spatula, serving plates)
    • Chop cooked lobster tails into bite-sized pieces; set aside
    • Dice red onion, mince garlic, seed and finely mince jalapeño; keep each separate
    • Juice lime and chop fresh cilantro; reserve separately
    • Dice tomatoes and shred cabbage; keep separate for later
    • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ground cumin, half the chopped cilantro, and juice of half the lime; mix until smooth to make the crema

    • Once oil is hot, add diced red onion and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened
    • Add minced garlic and jalapeño to the pan; sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant
    • Add chopped lobster meat to the pan; cook for 1-2 minutes just to heat through, stirring gently
    • Squeeze remaining lime juice over the lobster mixture and remove from heat
    • Warm the soft tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable
    • Spread a small amount of the cumin-lime mayo crema onto each tortilla
    • Add a layer of shredded cabbage to provide crunch
    • Spoon warm lobster mixture evenly onto each taco
    • Top with diced tomatoes, crumbled queso fresco, a dollop of sour cream, and the remaining chopped cilantro
    • Plate two tacos per person; garnish plates with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired
    • Serve immediately while still warm for best flavor and texture
