I really love tacos and I love that flavor of lean bison meat. So, this bison taco recipe was a no-brainer. Of course, you could use ground beef if you’d prefer.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb. ground bison meat (or substitute lean ground beef)
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp mild red chile powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- Corn tortillas
- Toppings such as shredded cheese, onion, jalapenos, cilantro, avocado, cabbage or lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, salsa, etc.
Method:
- In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil until hot. Add bison and cook until completely browned, stirring to prevent burning, about five minutes.
- Add onion and garlic and cook for another three to four minutes, until the onion is soft and clear. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Add water – a tablespoon at a time – if the meat gets too dry.
- Add spices and sea salt and stir again. Cook an additional minute or so, stirring to prevent burning.
- Served on warm or toasted corn tortillas with your favorite toppings.
