I’ve never cooked with venison, but it sounds like a great way to hide it!

Hi! I made these and they are yummy!
I used 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb ground venison, 1 can reduced fat refried beans, and 1 can black refried beans. I don’t like venison, but my husband is a hunter, so I try to use it occasionally. You can’t taste it in this recipe with all of the other flavors! Plus he is happy that I used venison!
* I wonder if anyone has used them in a casserole, and if so, what type of sauce did you put on them?

I could be wrong, but I *think* the whole purpose of the foil was to truly package them for “brown baggin’ it.” I don’t know, though. Yes, it definitely could be eliminated.

Maybe someone else said this and I missed it… but you could always quick freeze these and then pkg in gallon zips. Then just reheat… save on some foil? I do a similar recipe although they are called Chimi’s and when I put them in oven I spritz or brush with some butter… but the tortillas would be a little firmer than yours if heated in foil. But don’t know why you couldn’t heat them in foil. Just a thought.a
