This delicious taco recipe is great with just about any cut of venison because you are cooking it hot and fast. I prefer the cast iron skillet, but cooking the meat on the grill would be equally delicious. This meal is great for a large family or parties where you want to show off your wild game cooking skills.
Yield: 8-10 tacos
