Categories     main-dish

Time 1h18m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 raw lobster tails, frozen and thawed, or 1 pound raw lobster meat
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 flour tortillas, warmed
1 (15.5-ounce) can refried beans, preferably organic, warmed over low heat
1 cup Arroz Rojo, recipe follows
Red salsa, for serving, optional
2 plum tomatoes, cored
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup minced white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain rice
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
1 serrano chile
1 sprig fresh cilantro
Salt

Steps:

  • To remove the lobster meat from the shell, use kitchen shears to cut a lengthwise incision up the middle of the top and underside of the shell. Pull the shell apart and remove the tail meat.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy, shallow skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and melt until foamy.
  • Sprinkle the lobster meat with the garlic salt and pepper. Panfry the lobster in the butter and oil until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Place a warm flour tortilla on a work surface. Spread 3 tablespoons warm refried beans, then top with 1/4 cup Arroz Rojo and finish with about 2 ounces cooked lobster meat. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll up to completely enclose. Serve hot with salsa, if desired.
  • Using a box grater, grate the tomato into a medium bowl, discarding the tomato skin.
  • Heat the oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook until slightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the broth, tomato sauce and grated tomato and bring to a boil. Add the serrano, cilantro sprig and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat under the skillet. Cover the rice and let stand for 8 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
