Method

Preparing the Gator Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Alligator

    In a bowl, combine diced alligator meat, buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the meat is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Gator

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the marinated alligator meat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, cooked gator meat, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

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