Hey anyone from New Orleans? Could you share a recipe for chicken tasso. Thank you in advance.

Hi! I am from the North and therefore, had never heard of Tasso! I kept checking to see if someone had a recipe for you.

I had to google Tasso. How interesting! I doubt I can find it way up here though.

I found a recipe on food.com that sounds delish w/ the cream sauce. Next, I will google a substitute for Tasso that maybe I can find locally. Hope a real Southerner has some down home receipes for you!!
