To me, the perfect romantic appetizer: rich luscious lobster with the kick of jalapeno. Found in a "healthy" cookbook, The 99% Fat-Free Cookbook.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 6-inch corn tortillas
6 tablespoons dry white wine
12 ounces cooked lobster meat, , sliced
6 leaves red-leaf lettuce, shredded
1 small jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
1 small white onion, halved

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
3 plum tomatoes, cored and quartered

  • Stir in the lobster meat, cover, and cook for 3 minutes; remove from the heat.

  • Divide the salsa and lobster meat among the 4 tostadas and spoon a little of the cilantro/wine mixture over each serving.
