A little messy. Could be my own fault.
these lobster wraps are perfect finger/picnic food. i served them at a baby shower and got numerous requests for the recipe. delish!
Easy way to do something special
I love lobster, I love avacados, but this recipe just does not work. The tortilla has to go, and in no way is this a sort of dish that is quick and easy to “whip up.” Tying them with the chives takes too long, and not worth it in the end.
Wish I had seen these reviews before I wasted some big bucks on lobster meat! I totally agree about the tortilla — that’s got to go. And it does, in fact, fall to pieces if you try to tie it with a chive. Plus chives are expensive!! The filling was OK. I ennded up using about twice as much dressing as called for.
After all the comments about the wrap falling apart, I decided to serve this as a salad course over butter lettuce. The filling was very, very dry and on it’s own had relatively little taste. I had hoped to only lightly dress the salad with a vinaigrette but I ended up having to douse each plate with a large volume of dressing to make it moister and taste better.
I thought the wraps were very refreshing and easy to make. I used tortillas for the leftovers the next day. Very Good
The filling went all over the living room when everyone who ate one had it fall apart. A huge mess to clean up.
Through marathon internet posting sessions! Tnx!
Making these wraps and serving them to my family make me feel like I was a chef at a gourmet restaurant. They are wondrously delish…thx so much. I am going to use this recipe as appetizers at my next party and I can’t wait. Cut into fifths though.
