Don't forget the cilantro

ya know?
hate it when I do that.
made these last night and was thinking I was missing something.
kids ate it though, which was the mission, and accomplished!
they won't eat cilantro so didn't think to put it in.
ANY of my recipes are just for guidance only. I vary ingredients A LOT.
Thanks for the reminder/suggestion!

Each year I usually grind some deer or elk with zero fat added specifically for making tacos and meatloaf. Deer tacos are the best

Sounds great. Making me hungry. I love elk fajitas as well.

Yeah, but how's it taste  

[Ductsquatch]

I would NEVER use the commercial seasoning on MY DEER.
This tasted great.
The meat I used was just some general grind type...I found out my grinder is not working properly making this...cutting knife is gone somewhere.......so the meat wasn't ground well.
I used just enough bacon grease to put a THIN layer on the entire bottom of the pan, then scoop out any fatty liquid after the meat is done.

I couldn't get past it I'm afraid.  I can get down with enchiladas though.
