Ground Bison Meat Tacos Recipe
These bison tacos are made with homemade taco seasoning, and loaded up with lots of fresh colourful ingredients.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- Metal flipper (or wooden spoon)
- Measuring spoons
- Small bowl
- Cutting board
- Large knife
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground bison meat
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 batch homemade taco seasoning
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 fresh tomatoes
- 2 limes
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 2 cups microgreens (or lettuce)
- 1 cup pickled red onions
- 8 soft corn tortillas
Instructions
- First make your homemade taco seasoning before you start cooking the meat. To speed things up, you can also use a premade taco seasoning mix.
- Then start chopping all of your fresh toppings up including avocado, tomatoes, limes, and cilantro.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add your ground meat to the pan.
- Using a metal flipper or wooden spoon, continuously stir the meat until it's cooked through and starting to brown up. Bison meat should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
- When the meat is close to being done, stir in your taco seasoning. Once cooked through, taste a little bit of taco meat to see if it is seasoned enough for your liking.
- If not, add more seasoning.
- Once your meat is cooked, you can start assembling your tacos. Start with a soft corn tortilla, and then add some cooked ground meat followed by all of your toppings.
- Optionally, finish it off with some garlic aioli or chipotle sauce.
