• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 2 cups cabbage
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 large avocado
• 6 small whole wheat tortillas

• 1 small jalapeño
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the lobster tails generously with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 4

Grill the lobster tails on the preheated grill for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the meat is opaque and cooked through. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.

Step 5

While the lobster is cooling, thinly slice cabbage and cilantro, then dice the red onion, jalapeño, and avocado.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lime juice and a little chopped cilantro to make a simple low sodium sauce.

Step 7

Once the lobster is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Warm the whole wheat tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by placing a layer of cabbage onto each tortilla, followed by the lobster, red onion, jalapeño, and avocado.

Step 10

Drizzle with the Greek yogurt sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor. Enjoy your low sodium lobster tacos!
