Description

Hearty and flavorful shredded venison tacos made with simple ingredients and slow-cooked to perfection.


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 a spoonful of 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 everything well.
  3. Once the roast is browned, place it into the slow cooker. Cook on low heat for 8-9 hours.
  4. Test for doneness by sticking a fork into the meat; if it easily pulls apart, it’s done. If not, let it cook for another 30-60 minutes.
  5. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Slice or shred using forks.
  6. Return the shredded meat to the juices in the slow cooker for extra flavor.
  7. Serve with warm tortillas and a squeeze of fresh lime if desired.

Notes

Ensure venison is at room temperature before searing for even cooking. Adjust spices to suit heat preference.
