Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- ounces seasoned crispy fish fry seafood breading mix , Louisiana® brand
- 1 pound Louisiana alligator prime filet
Instructions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour fish fry mix into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add alligator nuggets, reseal the bag, and shake to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Shake the bag again.

Place half of seasoned alligator nuggets in the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown and nuggets float to the top of the oil, about 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Using tongs, transfer nuggets to a paper-towel lined plate.

Beef Birria
This beef birria is one of the best stews ever. I'm really excited to show you this recipe because after we enjoy this in stew form, we're doing a follow-up video using this to make some of the most incredible tacos you've ever had. If you like beef stew and you're a fan of chili, you're going to go nuts over this. Serve with lime wedges as-is or with warm flour tortillas, chili oil, salsa, and diced avocado next to some Spanish rice and a nice green salad.
