COOKING METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Line 2 racked sheet trays with foil and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, add all compound butter ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Place lobster tails on a prepared sheet tray and liberally spread the compound butter over top. Season with salt and black pepper and transfer the lobster tails onto 1 prepared sheet tray. Roast until the lobster shells have turned bright red and the meat is fully cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4. To the second sheet tray, add pineapple, habanero, serrano, and red onion. Drizzle oil evenly over the top and season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast in the oven until the vegetables and fruit are lightly charred, about TKTK minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
6. Transfer the pineapple and vegetables to a blender and add the juice of 2-3 limes, 1 lemon, a splash of vinegar and water and the cilantro. Pulse until a chunky texture is achieved. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until fully chilled.
7. While the salsa is cooling, de-shell the lobster tails. Once the shell has been removed, chop the lobster into large pieces and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Add cooled potato, cheese, cream cheese and additional Al Pastor seasoning. Stir to fully combine.
8. In a large Dutch oven, add 2 inches of oil over medium heat. Bring the oil to 350-375°F.
9. While the oil is preheating, wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on 30-second intervals. Once the tortillas are pliable and soft, begin filling them with the lobster mixture.
10. Add several tablespoons of the mixture to the center of the tortilla and quickly roll them into a tight tube. Once the taquitos are rolled, secure the seam side with a few toothpicks, then place several in the preheated oil and fry until golden brown and crisp.
11. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, season with salt and continue until all taquitos are fried.
12. Garnish with pineapple salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
