Why I Love Using Venison for Venison Street Corn Burritos

Venison works beautifully in this recipe.

It’s naturally very lean, high in protein, and minimally processed—especially if it came from a deer you or someone you know harvested.

A few reasons I love cooking with venison:

• It’s an extremely lean source of protein
  
• It’s often locally sourced
  
• You know exactly how it was processed
  
• It absorbs seasoning really well
  

If you don’t have venison on hand, no worries. You can easily substitute 96/4 ground beef and still end up with delicious street corn burritos.

Ingredients for Venison Street Corn Burritos

For the Meat

• 4 pounds ground venison
  
  (or 96/4 ground beef)
  
• 4 packets taco seasoning
  
  (about ¼ cup seasoning per pound of meat)
  

For the Street Corn Mixture

• 2 cans corn, drained
  
  (I like shoepeg corn — if using smaller cans, use 3)
  
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  
• ⅔ cup light mayo
  
• 2 teaspoons sriracha
  
  (or your favorite taco sauce blend)
  
• Juice of 1 lime
  
• 2–4 teaspoons taco seasoning, to taste
  

For the Burritos

• 2–3 packages tortillas
  

I recommend Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber tortillas because seem to be a healthier option.

Optional Toppings

• Pico de gallo
  
• Fresh cilantro
  
• Sour cream
  
• Salsa
  
• Shredded cheese
  

Personally, I like to add a scoop of cottage cheese instead of sour cream. It gives you extra protein and still adds that creamy finish.

How to Make Venison Street Corn Burritos

1. Brown the Venison

In a large soup pot or large skillet, brown the ground venison over medium heat. Since you’re cooking four pounds, a large pot makes the process easier.

Once the meat cooks through, add:

4 packets taco seasoning

(about ¼ cup per pound of meat)

Stir until the seasoning coats the meat evenly.

2. Make the Street Corn Mixture

While the venison browns, grab a large bowl and mix together:

• Drained corn
  
• Greek yogurt
  
• Light mayo
  
• Sriracha
  
• Fresh lime juice
  
• Taco seasoning
  

Stir everything together until it forms a creamy street corn mixture.

---

3. Combine the Venison and Street Corn

Add the street corn mixture directly into the browned venison.

Stir everything together until fully combined. The creamy corn mixture blends into the seasoned meat and creates the filling that makes these venison street corn burritos so good.

4. Fill the Burritos

TIP: DON’T OVERFILL THE TORTILLA.

Trust me on this one.

Scoop a large serving spoonful of the venison street corn mixture into the tortilla.

Then fold:

1. Fold the bottom up
   
2. Pull the sides inward
   
3. Roll the burrito forward
   
4. Fold the top over

5. Toast the Burritos

Preheat a skillet, pan, or griddle over medium heat (around 300°F).

Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for a couple minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp.

This step seals the burrito and gives it that delicious toasted texture.
