Healthy, affordable and delicious recipes, loosely based on Paleo/Primal Eating, and using a lot of wild game. The challenge I face is living in the most isolated town in the Lower 48, and being on a budget.

I could eat these every night. I am not even kidding
TACOS. Or fahitas. Fajitas. Or whatever you feel like calling them. I love them. They are so easy and fresh and tasty and make me happy. I make a few different varities for "vehicle" (holding the delicious filling) and the filling itself. I will break it down into the different ways we make them, all equally delicious, so you can mix and match how you choose! It is purely personal preference. Ok, shall we continue?
VEHICLE
I rotate between a few things.
-Iceberg lettuce leaves if I am trying to be food.
-Fresh flour tortillas (the kind you find uncooked in the refrigerated section at the store. They do not have them in the little store in our town, but I usually find them when we go to the "big city" of Lander, Riverton, or Jackson.)
-Or the mixed grain tortillas you can find at most stores now, I usually go with the ones with flax seed in them.
MEAT FILLING
More often than not, I use either chicken breasts, ground elk mix, or elk or deer steak. They are all prepared the same way! Or I will use a mixture of two of them. But not in the same taco. That would be weird.
For your chicken, I cut it into thin strips, throw it in a bowl, add garlic salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and onion powder. I mix it all around with a little olive oil, and then fry it up! Same exact thing for steak, and the ground meat! With the ground meat I always make sure to let it get the nice carmelization on it, it makes everything better.
TOPPINGS
Sliced black olives (a MUST)
Tomatoes (or fresh homemade pico de gallo)
Cilantro
Guacamole (I have two versions. My easy version is simply mash an avacado with lime juice and garlic salt to taste. If I want to be fancy, I all some cilantro, minced onion, and tomato)
Fresh shredded cheddar cheese (not the bagged stuff)
Sometimes I will also saute up some sliced onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms, for a more fajita type experience.
These are your oyster. Do with them what you wish but they are a favorite in our house! Next time I make them I will take some pictures to post
