Cut the burrito-size tortillas in half. Depending on the size of your baking dish, you may need to trim a little more off the edges as shown in the video. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground venison and cook until almost done. Add the corn, diced onion, and bell pepper. Season with taco seasoning and continue cooking until the venison is fully cooked and the vegetables have softened. Stir in 2 oz of Colby Jack cheese and 2 oz of Pepper Jack cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and incorporated.

Spoon a portion of the filling onto each tortilla half. Add a small pinch of both cheeses, then fold into a triangle-shaped pocket. Repeat until all pockets are assembled.

Add melted butter to a small bowl and stir in the garlic and parsley. Brush the bottom of a round baking dish with garlic butter.

Arrange the cheesy pockets in a circle around the dish. Brush the tops with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with a little extra cheese.

Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. For extra color and crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Serve with sour cream or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
