Not actually made with the head meat, but I tried out this recipe a couple days ago for a Mexican-themed Christmas party and it was a hit, so I thought I'd share another way to eat venison.

I followed this recipe almost exactly, with the addition of some cumin and chili powder. I ended up cooking the venison ham in the crock pot for about 8 hours, so it was super tender by the time we ate it the next day.

That looks good.

I see the cilantro in the taco, but what's all that other stuff, and where are the chopped onions?


Looks tasty. Was it dry, or was there enough fat in the ham?

Somebody else brought a beef/chicken fajita platter, so I helped myself to some of their grilled peppers and onions and other fixin's.

The ham was very lean, so I added the full 1/4 cup of lard called for in the recipe. I think it was instrumental in keeping it moist even after reheating it the next day.

But looks fantastic

Have used that same recipe several times. Very very good.

Looks great.....gotta say for a second, I thought you boiled a monkey's head.

There was an episode of meat eater where he actually roasted a couple deer heads wrapped in foil and buried under coals. Everyone eating it said it tasted really good. Since watching it I've wondered if anyone on here had ever done Barba coach deer

I'm kind of curious what your take, as well as everyone else's take would be on this recipe with elk?

Trying this this week.

I tried this recipe although I didn't get my venison as tender as I wanted it was still delicious!
