Instructions
- Make the marinade by combining olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, and cumin.
- Marinate the elk for 3 hours.
- While the elk is marinating, start a campfire or barbeque and make salsa. To make the salsa, combine all ingredients. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors combine. Season with salt and peper.
- On a hot grate over the fire, sear meat for 5-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the cut and the heat of the fire. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. While the meat rests, heat the tortillas.
- Slice meat into small chunks. Fill tortillas with elk. Top with salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
