This quick and delicious meal allows you to use up that last bit of wild game you have in the freezer before the season opener. You can substitute any ground wild game meat like venison, elk, antelope, etc. If you want an alternative without the tortillas then check out our Ground Venison Enchilada French Fries recipe.
