Lobster Bacon And Chorizo Taco Food

LOBSTER TACOS

Steps:

• Start by soaking the minced onion in the lime juice. Sprinkle salt over it and mix well. Now cut all your other vegetables. Doing it this way will take the sting out of the onions.
• Chop all your other vegetables and add them to the bowl with the lime juice and onions. Mix well and add salt to taste. Have this ready for the lobster.
• Heat your tortillas now. If you are making your own, make them after the salpicon but before you steam the lobster.
• Set a steamer tray in a pot and pour enough water to come up to just below the level of the tray. Cover the pot and bring this to a boil. Lift the lid, set the lobster tails on the tray, cover the pot and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. Big Maine lobster tails can take 15 minutes, but little Caribbean or Pacific lobster tails will only take about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a little pot. When the lobster is ready, remove it from the shells and cut into bite-sized pieces. Put the lobster in a bowl and toss with the melted butter.
• Mix the lobster with the salpicon, add it to tortillas and have at it!

LOBSTER TACO AL CARBONE

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime zest and juice, chipotle, honey and olive oil in a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion and cilantro and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat grill to high.
• Brush the lobster flesh with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put on the grill, flesh side down, and grill until slightly charred and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the shell and coarsely chop. Put the chopped lobster into a bowl, along with the green onions and mix to combine.
• Put the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly divide the cheese over the surface. Put a few heaping tablespoons of the lobster in the center. Fold the tortillas over, brush the tops with oil and grill, oil side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute. Brush the top side of the tortillas with oil, flip over and continue grilling until slightly charred and cheese just melts. Arrange the tortillas on a serving platter and garnish with cilantro.

• Split the lobster tail in half and brush with olive oil and salt. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes and transfer to a cutting board. Pull the flesh from shell, chop into bite-sized chunks and add to a medium bowl.
• Peel and thinly slice jicama. Brush with olive oil and salt and grill about 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thin strips.
• Trim ends of spring onions. Brush with olive oil and salt and grill for 3 to 4 minutes Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
• Grill the poblano for 5 to 7 minutes or until almost soft. Do not burn. Remove to a cutting board, peel and chop into bite-sized pieces.
• Chipotle grilled corn creme:
• Peel corn and brush with olive oil. Grill until browned on all sides, turning occasionally, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat to a cutting board and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, slice off the kernels with a knife.
• In a food processor, add the chipotle peppers and sauce, the grilled corn, sour cream, buttermilk, smoked paprika, sugar, and salt, to taste and pulse until smooth.
• Warm the flour tortillas on a pan or on the grill about 1 minute on each side.
• Layer each tortilla with lobster, jicama, green onion, poblano pepper, chipotle grilled corn creme, and chocolate bacon. Serve on a platter or individual plates and enjoy!

CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Over a hot grill or in a clean skillet over high heat, heat the tortillas until warmed through and pliable. Divide the sausage filling among the warm tortillas and serve with desired accompaniments.

YUM YUM SHRIMP TACO

Steps:

• For the mango ginger habanero glaze: In a large pot over medium heat, add sugar, unfiltered apple juice, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and 1 cup water. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add mango puree, ginger, red crushed pepper and habaneros. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has cooked down to half the amount and is thick and sticky, 2 to 3 hours. Cool and transfer to a squirt bottle for easy application.
• For the sweet lime pepper: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170 degrees F.
• Spread the lime zest on a baking sheet and bake 1 hour, then blend into a powder with a high-powered blender.
• Mix lime powder in a bowl with the sugar, salt and pepper and, boom, you got some Sweet Lime Pepper.
• For the soy lime dressing: In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, soy, mirin, olive oil and sriracha. Transfer to a squirt bottle for easy application. Dressing tends to separate, so shake or stir before use.
• For the slaw: Gather grated daikon in a ball or cheesecloth and squeeze out all the excess water. (Avoiding this step will lead to very wet tacos.)
• Peel any bruised or wilted leaves from cabbage and thinly chop about 2 inches from the bottom, avoiding the core. Chop the scallions and carrots. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and reserve for later.
• For the yum yum shrimp tacos: Preheat a flat griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Oil pan with vegetable oil and drop shrimp in pan. Sprinkle generously with sweet lime pepper, then cook for 2 minutes. Flip and cover again with sweet lime pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add some mango habanero glaze and toss shrimp until a little caramelization forms on the shrimp (being careful not to burn them), another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Line 2 shells with a handful of the slaw, then add soy lime dressing. Add cilantro if using. Place shrimp atop the tacos, then top with sriracha.

• Add bay leaf and nutmeg and let slow simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. Stir in cheeses and seasoning and continue cooking and stirring until cheese is completely melted and incorporated.
• CRUMB TOPPING: Place all crumb topping ingredients in a food processor and mix on low speed until bacon is fully incorprated.
• NOODLES: In a large pot of boiling water (not salted), cook noodles until al dente. Strain noodles from water.
