Ingredients

  1. 6 flour tortillas (any size will do, 11-inch are recommended)
  2. Cookie cutter, of your choice
  3. 2 ripe avocados, chopped (by hand)
  4. 1/2 cup diced red onion
  5. 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro
  6. 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  8. 1/2 cup fresh sour cream

  10. 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  11. 1 pound fresh lobster meat, cut in small medallions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

This is such a hit at parties! The decadence of the lobster makes these apps feel really “fancy”. And the beauty of it is that you don’t have to use a ton of lobster to make a bunch so it won’t break the bank. I make my guac a bit differently, but the spicy sour cream really makes this app pop. Also, the added touch of crisping your own tortillas as opposed to using a bag of chips is terrific. I always get complimented on this one!
