1
Prepare the Alligator
Rinse the alligator tail meat under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
2
Season the Alligator
In a bowl, toss the alligator pieces with blackening seasoning until evenly coated.
3
Cook the Alligator
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned alligator pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until the meat is cooked through and has a blackened crust.
4
Warm the Tortillas
While the alligator is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
5
Assemble the Tacos
To assemble, place a few pieces of blackened alligator on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
6
Serve
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
