Tip:
Tip: If you find fresh habanero chiles, buy a bunch and freeze them in a tightly sealed plastic bag (they’ll keep for 3 months in the freezer). If you can’t find them, substitute a fresh serrano or jalapeño chile.
For the tacos

4 6-inch flour or corn tortillas
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and plunge the lobster head first into the water. Boil for 9 minutes.
Remove the lobster and let cool. Remove the meat from the body and the claws and coarsely chop. You will have about 1-1⁄2 cups of lobster meat.
To make the salsa, simply stir all the ingredients together in a bowl.
