This is a Traditional Mexican dish that has been cooked and passed down for many years, with the exeption of the Wild Hog. I hunt to have fresh organic meat in my freezer year round and have continued the tradition of mexican cooking with a touch of the New.

I am an avid outdoorsman and Hunter I would say that I love cooking all types of dishes from Traditional Mexican plates to Italian... but most favorite of mine is Wild Game. I never hunt for trophies I hunt to put meat in the freezer and on my table, hopefully I get to share my Wild Game recipes with you all. Bon Apettit
