Ingredients
- 4 medium lobster tails

- 1 juiced lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

- 2 large, sliced avocado
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro

Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lobster tails. Using a sharp pair of kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the back of the lobster shell and gently remove the meat. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the lobster meat to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lobster is opaque and cooked through.
Step 4
Squeeze the lime juice over the lobster, then sprinkle with cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine and remove from heat.
Step 5
To assemble the tacos, lay out the butter lettuce leaves as your base.
Step 6
Distribute the cooked lobster evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Step 7
Top each taco with several slices of avocado, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of cilantro, diced red onion, and sliced jalapeño to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, Whole30 compliant lobster tacos!
