Use either venison or elk in this recipe, and you'll be pleased with the results! "My husband asks for these fajitas frequently," relates Daniell Rissinger of Dauphin, Pennsylvania. "He enjoys big-game hunting and usually comes home with an elk. To finish off the meal, we add some Mexican rice and corn bread."

Even though this was my first experience preparing venison, it was so easy! It was quick, flavorful, tender and healthy. I cut the salt down quite a bit and only used about a teaspoon of salt in the marinade, and during cooking I also added a bit of cumin, and red pepper - it was wonderful!
