Blackened Gator Tacos Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Alligator

   In a large bowl, coat the alligator tail meat with olive oil and blackening seasoning. Make sure the meat is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

3. 3

   Cook the Alligator

   Add the seasoned alligator tail meat to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the meat is blackened and cooked through.

4. 4

   Warm the Tortillas

   While the alligator is cooking, warm the corn or flour tortillas in a separate pan over low heat until soft and pliable.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Once the alligator is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Place the alligator meat on the warmed tortillas and top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime. Add hot sauce to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the blackened gator tacos immediately with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
