Description

Warm and comforting shredded venison tacos, perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners, featuring tender meat cooked to perfection with a blend of savory spices.


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. Add bacon fat or oil and sear the venison roast on all sides until browned.
  2. Set your slow cooker to high heat. Add the beef broth, spices, garlic, and sliced onion. Mix well.
  3. Once the roast is browned, place it into the slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 8-9 hours.
  4. Check for doneness by twisting a fork into the meat. If it pulls apart easily, it’s done. Otherwise, cook for another 30-60 minutes.
  5. Remove the roast from the slow cooker, slice or shred the meat, and return it to the juices for extra flavor.
  6. Serve with warm tortillas and a squeeze of fresh lime if desired.

Notes

Let the meat rest a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. Add extra beef broth if the meat seems dry when shredding. Customize toppings for added flavor.
