For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or cumin to the skillet while browning the venison. Freshly chopped cilantro makes a delightful garnish, adding a burst of freshness to the dish. Feel free to substitute ground beef or turkey if venison is unavailable. Adjust the amount of salsa to your liking, depending on your preferred level of spice.
