1/2 cup chopped or sliced onion
several small or 1/2 bag qt. red and yellow peppers
1/2 tsp. Kosher or table salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper or chile powder 
shake of black pepper

handful of sharp cheddar cheese
additional_options : jalapeno peppers, black olives, pepper jack cheese, guacamole dip  


 HOW-TO :
Julienne-slice the venison and peppers
chop onion
Add oil into heating WOK, add the meat just before it starts to smoke, then all spices.
Saute' only till slightly brown, add onion and peppers, then saute' till tender (your liking), mine takes apx 5 minutes.  Cover with a lid to keep hot, prepare your tortilla.
Spoon the meat mixture onto a tortilla and add a layer of cheese,"nuke" for 15 seconds
Fold it up, add the salsa, then sour cream.
An additional step is to brown the filled tortilla till golden, prior to the toppings.  A greased hot iron skillet works great.
