Once cooked, remove the venison from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Season to taste with the remaining taco seasoning mix, adjusting to your preference. (10 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a chopped onion and a minced garlic clove to the slow cooker along with the water.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Leftover shredded venison is fantastic in burritos, salads, or even as a topping for nachos!
