Description

Delicious shredded venison tacos with a blend of spices, perfect for gatherings or cozy dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs venison roast
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 lime, sliced
  • 6 flour tortillas


Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet to medium-high and add a spoonful of bacon fat or oil.
  2. Sear the venison roast on all sides until browned well.
  3. In a slow cooker set to high heat, combine the beef broth, salt, cumin, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, onion powder, oregano, cayenne, sliced garlic, and sliced onions. Mix well.
  4. Once browned, add the roast to the slow cooker and cover.
  5. Cook on low heat for 8-9 hours or until the meat is tender.
  6. To check for doneness, insert a fork into the meat and twist. If it pulls apart easily, it’s done; if not, cook for an additional 30-60 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, place the roast on a cutting board and slice it into thick pieces. Return the meat to the juices in the slow cooker and stir or shred with forks.
  8. Serve with warm tortillas and a squeeze of lime for added freshness.

Notes

For added flavor, incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro and consider adding jalapeños. Warm tortillas in a skillet before serving for enhanced texture.
