Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the venison for tender results.
- Cook the venison until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- If you don't have fajita seasoning mix, you can make your own by combining equal parts chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- To make the fajitas ahead of time, prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, warm the filling and tortillas separately.
