Lafayette Crawfish Tacos
6" flour tortillas
1 oz. shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
4 oz. cooked crawfish tails
Pinch of chopped fresh basil
1 oz. chopped green peppers
1 oz. olive oil
1 oz. chopped red peppers
Shredded lettuce
1 oz. chopped yellow peppers
Diced tomatoes
1 oz. chopped purple onions
Cajun hot sauce
1 oz. chopped garlic
1 oz. blackening spice
In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil until hot. Add the garlic, peppers, onions and saute until tender. Add the blackening spice, basil and crawfish tails. Heat until hot throughout. Remove from heat and add cheese (the heat from the skillet will melt the cheese). In a hot oven (450 degrees) warm the flour tortillas then stuff with the crawfish mixture and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and cajun hot sauce.
