Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped lobster meat to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until heated through. Remove from heat.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds or on a griddle until pliable.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Take a tortilla and spoon a portion of the lobster mixture into the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend generously over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with chopped cilantro.
- Serve with sour cream, sliced avocado, and lime wedges for a refreshing finish.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the lobster mixture or top with sliced pickled jalapeños before serving.
- Feel free to substitute the lobster with shrimp or crab for a different seafood experience.
- To make a homemade enchilada sauce, blend together canned tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, simmering until thickened.
