• Like we said, it’s a labor of love

• Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil
• Combine all the ingredients except the cooked sauce in a large bowl and mix with your hands, being careful not to overmix

• Add 1/4 cup water to the pan and carefully transfer to the oven
• Bake for 1 hour, or until the meatballs are golden brown
• Remove and set aside
• To make the rolls, place dough on a clean, flat, dry surface and stretch out evenly, using flour liberally to help spread the dough
• You may use a rolling pin to spread the dough
• Once the dough is round and roughly 16- to 18-inches in diameter, use a pizza wheel cutter to cut the round-shaped dough in 4 quarters
• You should achieve 4 triangle-shaped doughs
• Fill each piece with 16 meatball wedges along with 1 cup of cooked tomato sauce and 3/4 cup of Polly-O mozzarella cheese
• Sprinkle a generous handful of Pecorino Romano cheese to top
• Roll each dough up while keeping all of the ingredients inside of the dough
• In a large baking pan, add 1 cup of olive oil to bottom then place 4 meatball rolls on the pan
• Cover the top of the meatball rolls with olive oil then sprinkle tops with a generous amount of sesame seeds
• Place the rolls in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes
• Remove and cool before serving

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200F. In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime zest, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and sour cream and pulse until smooth. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix well the cabbage with the remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice and ½ teaspoon salt and set aside.
• Place 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a medium cast-iron or heavy –bottom skillet. Heat over medium-high heat while stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lobster and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• If using a gas burner, place each tortilla directly on the burner to toast use tongs to flip once, halfway through cooking until pliable and slightly charred around the rim, about one minute per side. Alternatively, place tortillas, in batches, in a lightly oiled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Flip once, halfway through cooking about 1 to 2 minutes per batch. Keep warm on a baking sheet in the oven.
• Divide the tortillas between 4 plates, spread some of the avocado and lime creme onto each of the tortillas. Top each with some of the lobster meat, cabbage, radishes, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
