INGREDIENTS

  • Fajita Seasoning:
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  •  
  • 1 1/2 pounds venison, cut into 2 inch strips
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 2 inch strips
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 2 inch strips
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 12 fajita size flour tortillas, warmed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine seasoned salt, garlic salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and oregano to make the fajita seasoning. Sprinkle two teaspoons of the seasoning over the sliced venison. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy frying pan. Cook bell peppers and onion until starting to soften, then remove. Pour in remaining oil, then cook venison until browned. Return pepper mixture to the pan, season with remaining fajita seasoning, and reheat. Served with the warmed tortillas.

I thought these were very yummy. They tasted like beef fajitas, and the venison stayed very tender. A great alternative to using up your venison. I will make these again.

Wow, that was good. One of the best venison dishes I have ever had. There wasn't any "gamie" taste.
