Venison Fajitas

Fajitas are fabulous made with venison! If you happen to have a freezer full of delectable little round steaks you should make this too. What? No venison? Beef will make a fine substitute, no worries.

My husband hunts so just about every year we have a deer in the freezer. This year our butcher did an exceptional job too so I'm very happy. We have lots of tender little boneless chops and round steak along with some beautifully lean ground venison.

Deer are what they eat and the deer in North Central Oregon eat a lot of wheat and the meat is very clean tasting. I never have a problem with the meat tasting gamey here. If I were eating the deer from an area that was not so lucky this would be a great meal to make with it because the lime and seasonings would help lessen the gameyness.

Don't these look good! I'll also show you how to make the Spanish rice a little later in this blog.

For the rub, I use a basic fajita or taco seasoning that I make up myself. I really need to get that recipe written down, I know. In the mean time, You can make up your own or use a packaged seasoning.
