Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Lightly salt the water and then add lobster tails, reduce heat to a simmer. Lobster tails should be fully covered with water. Poach for a few minutes until lobster is just cooked through. Remove lobster tails from the pot, extract the meat and slice into strips.

Briefly dip the one rice paper wrapper into the plate with water to wet it just enough to soften it. Add a layer of lettuce, then avocados, cucumber, lobster strips and cilantro. Fold the top part of the wrapper near you over the filling and then roll it up away from you. Place on a serving plate, seam side down. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
