Before I get to the recipe, I must state that these are not actual armadillo eggs. I don’t want you to take a look at the name and think “gross, I can’t try that”, because trust me, this is one recipe you don’t want to miss out on!!
Being in Texas nowadays, my hubby and I have been trying all sorts of new foods. A while back, we heard of armadillo eggs and had no clue what they were. I decided to jump onto Pinterest, because come on, Pinterest knows all right? Well, low and behold, I came across armadillo eggs. The version we made was for the smoker, however, I have also included instructions on how to cook these on the grill or in the oven. Either way, these will be a new favorite of yours, I just know it!!
