Description

At Camp Chef, we want to encourage people to get outside to enjoy a breath of fresh air, and while you're at it, share a few meals and bond a little. We know many people harvest their own meat, and that's why we want to share one of our favorite wild game taco recipes.

Ingredients

**All Ingredients**
- 2-3 pounds wild game sirloin or bottom round (works best with Elk, Deer or Pronghorn)
- 2 quarts orange juice
- 4 limes (2 juiced and zested, 2 sliced for serving)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bunches of cilantro, chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- Salsa verde
- Corn tortillas

Instructions

Step 1: Combine orange juice, 2 juiced and zested limes, garlic, and one bunch of cilantro into a large container or sealable bag. If the meat is a thicker cut, slice it so it is less than 3 inches thick. Marinate meat for a minimum of 6 hours, up to 24 hours. Keep refrigerated.

Step 2: When ready to cook, preheat pellet grill to 225 °F. Remove meat from marinade and add salt. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches around 100 to 110 °F. Once it reaches that temperature, sear with cast iron in butter or oil until the internal temperature reaches 125-135 °F.

Step 3: Slice the meat cross-grain, then chop and add salt. Top a warm tortilla with meat, onion, cilantro and salsa verde. Serve with a lime. Add other toppings as desired.
