Crockpot Shredded Venison Tacos

I’m always looking for new ways to cook venison, this year we had plenty of roasts left over from last year. I’m in the process of cleaning out our deep freezer in preparation for deer season in a few weeks and I wanted to try something, we have really been into trying different tacos lately. One of my favorite tacos that I’ve had at a restaurant is shredded beef rajas tacos.

So I thought how can I transform a venison roast into shredded tacos & voila, I did! These tacos have so much flavor, I’ve already made them several times & this last time I doubled the batch because I WANTED leftovers, crazy who wants leftovers, but this is an exception!

The other easy thing is that you add everything into a crockpot and let it cook all day & boom come dinner time, dinner is served & all in one pot!

Feel free to serve it up with whatever fixins’ you like, I added mine below to give you an idea!

Hope this helps you use up some of that left over venison meat, or you can use a beef roast as well.

  • 1-2 TBS tomato pasta

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

Notes

  • Corn tortillas taste best with this in my opinion, but flour also works.

  • Can substitute a beef roast.
