What’s in these Tex-Mex Smoked Brats with Cilantro Slaw?
Whenever we grill, we like to keep the ingredients simple. You get so much flavorful from the smoke and fire that you don’t need to fuss a whole lot of preparation. For this recipe you will need:
4 to 6 jalapeno stuffed brats (or any variety)
4 to 6 brioche hot dog buns
Bag of coleslaw mix
Sour cream
Salsa verde
Fresh Cilantro
Lime juice
Fresh jalapenos, for garnish
Tips for Making Tex-Mex Smoked Brats with Cilantro Slaw:
1) Brat. You can use any type of brat you find at the grocery store. However, if you can find brat stuffed with jalapenos, chiles, or chorizo flavors that would be ideal.
2) Brat Cooking Temp. Grilling brats is simple. The max time depending on your grill takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The desired internal temperature you are looking for is 160 degrees.
3) Cilantro Slaw. This is a great topping to make a day ahead. The longer it sits in the fridge the more the flavors will have a chance to blend together.
4) Grilling 101. Before you grill anything make sure your grates are clean! Nobody wants leftovers on their freshly grilled meal!
Can we make these Low Carb?
You bet! Simply serve the brat without the bun and top with extra cilantro slaw!
Not a cilantro fan. Any substitutes?
A great substitute for cilantro is parsley! Of course, please feel free to add in more herbs like basil!
