Taco Fillings

Taco Assembly

Method

Prepare the Fillings

  1. 1

    Grilling Shrimp

    Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Toss shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Cooking Brisket

    Season brisket with salt and pepper. In a slow cooker, cook on low for 8 hours or until tender. Shred brisket with two forks.

  3. 3

    Preparing Blackened Gator

    Season gator meat with blackening seasoning. Heat a cast-iron skillet until very hot, add gator and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Cooking Blackened Fish

    Coat fish fillets with blackening seasoning. In a hot skillet, cook fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Place your choice of filling (shrimp, brisket, blackened gator, or blackened fish) in the center of each tortilla. Top with a drizzle of Panama sauce, a generous scoop of Pico de Gallo, and a sprinkle of pepper jack cheese.
