Instructions

Prepare the slaw

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion. Toss with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
Make the chipotle crema

In a small bowl, mix the Mexican crema or sour cream with the chopped chipotle in adobo, lime zest, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Season the lobster

In a medium bowl, gently toss the chopped lobster meat with the remaining olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to break up the lobster pieces too much.
Warm the tortillas

Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
Assemble the tacos

Lay the warm tortillas on a serving platter. Divide the seasoned lobster meat evenly among the tortillas. Top each with a generous portion of the cabbage slaw.
Add the finishing touches

Drizzle each taco with the chipotle crema. Garnish with sliced avocado and any remaining cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
