Ingredients

• 2 pounds venison steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
• Tortillas, for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the venison steak to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and let the venison marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the venison from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the venison on the grill or grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
5. Once cooked, remove the venison from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the cooked venison into thin strips.
6. In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Warm the tortillas on the grill or stovetop.
8. To serve, place a few slices of venison on a warm tortilla. Top with the sautéed onions, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and a dollop of salsa. Fold the tortilla over the filling and enjoy!
9. Serve the Texas Venison with extra salsa on the side for dipping, if desired.
