About Crawfish Boil Tacos
Ever had a craving for a crawfish boil (without the work)? Fresh, hot from the pot crawfish, with potatoes, sausage, garlic, onions, and corn.
If so, you will love these crawfish tacos!
They are inspired by a crawfish boil with all your favorite crawfish boil ingredients.
Plus, you can easily adjust the fillings based on your preferences.
Ingredients
Everyone has their own version of what to put in a crawfish boil. And everyone has a different recipe or idea of how to season it.
The ingredients are based on what I wanted to be in my tacos. Feel free to adjust to what you like or have on hand.
Crawfish: Freshly picked or frozen crawfish tails are best. The frozen crawfish tails are easier since you don't have to do the picking. However, these tacos are a tasty way to use up leftover crawfish from a crawfish boil.
Veggies: Because I love adding extra veggies, I packed in the veggies. This recipe includes onions, peppers, mushrooms, celery, and garlic. Any veggies will work in this recipe.
Spices: There are a lot of spices to give your tacos flavor, and you can adjust the seasoning as needed.
Substitutions
Crawfish: If you are not a crawfish fan, feel free to substitute with shrimp or even chicken.
Spices: Many spices are optional, and you can adjust them as needed.
