Grilled tacos (Spanish – taco al carbon) is a typical Tex-Mex taco. The filling for these tacos is cooked over an open fire. Grill lobster over a charcoal grill and wrap it, along with cheese and green onions, in corn tortillas. Serve with a tomato-chipotle salsa, which adds a spicy, sweet-and-spicy flavor with a smoky note.
