Try these cheesy tacos with elk or venison! 🌮 Full recipe ⬇️

🌮 What you’ll need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground elk or venison
1 small onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅔ cup enchilada sauce
2.5 cups Oaxaca, Mexican or Monterey Jack Cheese
12 corn or flour tortillas, warmed for flexibility

🧀 Optional Toppings: Lime Crema, Shredded Lettuce, Additional Shredded Cheese, Salsa, Guacamole, Jalapeños

🌮 How to make it:
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees
2. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add in ground elk and onions and cook until the elk is no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain if needed.
3. Add in seasonings and enchilada sauce, and stir until well combined. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce is warmed then add 1 cup of the cheese to the pan and stir.
4. Lay 6 tortillas onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 6 tortillas using a separate baking sheet
5. Top each tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese and place into the oven for about 3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon about ¼ cup of the taco meat mixture over half of each tortilla.
7. Fold the side that doesn’t have the filling over the side that has the meat and gently press.
8. Place back into the oven for another 5 minutes or until the tortillas are crisp.
9. Serve with your favorite taco toppings. I love to use lime crema and jalapeños.
