Wok's For Dinner: Tacoless Taco

This meal really is, hands down, one of our family favorites.  I call it taco"less" since it's a taco without the tortilla.  It's a great alternative to eating light without sacrificing taste or a satisfied palate.  I use ground venison in my recipe, and I go a little heavy on seasonings to get rid of the gamey taste.  You can certainly use ground beef, chicken or turkey, but I recommend going a little light on seasonings, taste test, then add more if needed.
