Instructions
Heat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer and is just close to smoking, add the diced onion and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent, tender, and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and saute for an additional 30 seconds to a minute before adding the ground venison. Loosely break up the venison and stir it into the sauteed onion and garlic then allow the venison to sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip and break up the venison as it browns.
Once the ground venison is browned, add the seasoning including chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Next, add the chopped cilantro, diced roma tomatoes, lime juice, and water. Stir until combined.
Bring the ground venison taco meat to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the taco meat reaches your desired consistency. Remove from heat and serve in your favorite taco shells or tortillas and top with desired condiments.
Notes
Serve with your favorite condiments: hot sauce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, or all the above!
Venison is super lean meat, so you can add an extra drizzle of olive oil to the pan if the meat starts to stick while browning.
Warm the tortillas before serving! Either bake hard shells on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) until sizzling or wrap soft shells in damp paper towels and heat for 45 seconds until warmed through.
Save some extra chopped cilantro to garnish the top of the meat before serving! It adds beautiful color and flavor!
