Crawfish Filling

Taco Assembly

Method

Crawfish Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Crawfish and Seasoning

    Stir in the minced garlic, crawfish tails, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the crawfish are heated through and well combined with the vegetables.

Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Slaw Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 4

    Combine Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, and toss until evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous spoonful of the crawfish filling onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of slaw and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
