Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | Prepare the salsa: In a food processor, combine the jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves. Process until finely minced. Add the red and yellow tomatoes, then pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the lime juice, and set aside. |
| 3 | Toast the tortillas: Place the corn tortillas directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for about 5 minutes or until they are lightly toasted. |
| 4 | Prepare the lobster: In a nonstick frying pan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro leaves and the dry white wine. Cook over low heat for 1 minute, or until the liquid begins to smoke slightly. Stir in the lobster meat, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat. |
| 5 | Assemble the tostadas: Place the toasted tortillas on individual serving plates. Top each tortilla with a handful of red-leaf lettuce. Divide the salsa and cooked lobster meat among the 4 tostadas. Spoon a little of the cilantro-wine mixture over each serving. |
| 6 | Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors of these lobster tostadas! |
