Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) lobster meat (450 grams)
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cabbage (100 grams)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise (60 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sour cream (30 milliliters)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice (15 milliliters)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) agave nectar (5 milliliters)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground cumin (2 grams)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped cilantro (15 grams)
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions
- Begin by preparing the creamy slaw. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, and ground cumin.
- Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the bowl and mix until the cabbage is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Season the slaw with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Remove the tortillas from the skillet and cover them with a clean towel to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the lobster meat and cook gently until just heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the lobster with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the lobster meat onto each tortilla.
- Top the lobster with a generous spoonful of the creamy slaw.
- Add slices of avocado and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- If using, add a few slices of jalapeño for extra heat.
- Serve the lobster tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
Notes
- Consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier creamy slaw.
- Customize tacos with diced tomatoes or red onions for added flavor.
- Grill lobster meat for a smoky taste, rather than cooking it in a skillet.
