Venison Tacos
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. of venison, ground
- 8 flour tortillas, medium
- 2 oz. fiesta cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 and 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp. dried minced garlic or garlic powder
- 2 tsp. of dried minced onion or onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. oregano, dried
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced, (optional)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce, (optional)
Getting it done:
- First, fry the ground venison burger on medium-high heat, breaking it up as it fries until it’s done. Remove any excess grease.
- Add the spices and water. Mix well and heat for two minutes.
- Turn the heat to low while you are assembling the tacos.
- Preheat the oven to 350 ºF.
- Place a tortilla on a large cookie sheet. Put about 2 Tbsp. of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla, 3 Tbsp. of venison taco meat, and then another 2 Tbsp. of shredded cheese.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over. Continue until you've used all ingredients.
- Place the tacos in the oven for about 5 minutes–just long enough to melt the cheese and very lightly toast the tortillas.
- Remove from the oven and open the tacos carefully and add tomatoes, and lettuce.
- Let's eat!

Notes
If you don’t want to make your own taco seasoning that’s okay. You can always use your favorite brand of taco seasoning from the store. I personally like to make it myself because it seems to have a better flavor.
