Tacos de Venado

Tacos de Venado are a delicious and authentic Mexican snack featuring tender venison marinated in traditional spices. Served in crisp lettuce wraps, they offer a flavorful and healthy alternative to conventional tacos.

Ingredients

• Venison steak - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Romaine lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Salsa (optional) - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the venison steak into thin strips and add it to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated venison strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
4. While the venison is cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and drying them, then arrange them on a serving platter.
5. Once cooked, remove the venison from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before assembling the tacos.
6. To assemble, place a few strips of venison on each lettuce leaf, top with sliced red onion, avocado, and chopped cilantro. Add salsa if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Tacos de Venado!
