I’m pretty sure that one of my long-time friends from high school is about ready to kill me. You see, I’ve been making a lot of venison recipes lately, and I usually post a pic on Facebook of those dinners. He, apparently, really wants some venison. He comments on every picture, and on the latest one he told me that he’s gonna punch me in the face. Ha!!! I literally laughed out loud when I ready it. Said all out of love, of course.
And who can blame him, really? Venison is some good stuff! I’d probably want to punch someone in the face if they kept posting pics of delicious food that I couldn’t have. Like these tacos.
Let’s just say that it’s a pumped up version of ground beef tacos. A much tastier version. I used the “usual” spices, and then added red wine vinegar just for kicks. I think it added a nice punch of flavor. It also helps to cut some of the gamey taste.
You can always adjust the toppings to fit your tastes, but I’m not sure what else you could put on these tacos to make them any better…
Just look at that pile of deliciousness in a tortilla.
I love tacos. Have I mentioned that? Maybe once or twice? And I really love these tacos. You will too.
