Beef - though the chicken and turkey both sound good. Hmmm, wonder if I should do ground gator tacos though......

Alligator Tacos
Ingredients:
For the alligator:
1 lb. alligator tenderloin
6 key limes
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp cumin
1/3 cup toasted cornmeal
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup corn oil
For the corn tortillas:
2 ears yellow corn
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 clove crushed garlic
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup water
For the salsa:
1/2 cup shredded queso
1 ripe avocado
1 ripe tomato
2 key limes
Roast the corn briefly over an open flame and slice the kernels from the ears. Chop the corn coarsely in a food processor. Mix the cornmeal, flour, crushed garlic, 1/2 cup of water and the corn to make a thick paste. Roll out the tortilla dough into thin 3' rounds on parchment paper or between sheets of plastic wrap, and fry in a hot skillet for about 45 seconds on each side.
Chop the alligator tenderloin into 1/2' cubes. Marinate for an hour in the juice of the key limes and the crushed garlic. Mix the cumin, toasted cornmeal and 1/3 cup of flour. Dredge the gator cubes in the mixture. Bring the oil to 350 degrees and fry quickly in a skillet, turning once.
Roast the tomato briefly over an open flame and chop into tiny cubes. Chop the avocado into cubes of the same size. Mix the fire-roasted corn, tomato and avocado with the juice of 2 key limes to make the salsa.
Serve with sour cream, fresh crisp lettuce and shredded Mexican queso cheese.
