Ingredients

6 flour tortillas (any size will do, 11-inch are recommended)

Cookie cutter, of your choice

2 ripe avocados, chopped (by hand)

1/2 cup diced red onion

2 teaspoons chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped

1/2 cup fresh sour cream

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pound fresh lobster meat, cut in small medallions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. To make the "flower" tortillas, take the cookie cutter and press firmly down on the tortilla. Bake on a cookie sheet for 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve in an airtight container.
  3. For the guacamole, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cover tightly with saran wrap. The guacamole may be made several hours ahead and refrigerated.
  4. In small bowl, blend together the sour cream and spices.
  5. To serve, place the cut out tortillas on a tray. Put a dollop of guacamole on each tortilla. Place 1 piece of lobster on top of the guacamole. Garnish with the spicy sour cream, using a squeeze bottle to drizzle the mixture over the hors d'ouevres. Serve cold.

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!
