Travelers meal in a hand

by Miro Teague

I like sometimes to have a quick heat and go meal cause ya never know when there might be a misunderstandin’ or whatnot that one might be findin’ yerself needin’ to get away from quickly and you don’t want to miss a meal.
I use minced deer meat fer this one. I’d say about a pound browned.
Once browned I adds cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, paprika, powdered garlic and powdered onion.
I grate some cheese and chop some fresh lettuce or baby spinach to go along with it.
There’s usually a bakery in one town or the other or some nice farmers that will sell me these nice thin round flour or cornmeal flat breads that travel well for several days so I us those to hold my meat, cheese, lettuce or spinach and if I can find one somewhere bits of a tomato that I have diced up. To spice it up I often add a liberal amount of hot sauce.
