BISON TACOS

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared wasabi
1 cup shredded white cabbage
1/2 cup quartered and thin sliced red onion
1 avocado
1 tablespoon sambal or other Asian chili paste
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Salt
1 1/4 pounds pulled bison meat (braised flank steak)
1 cup beef or chicken stock
Eight 6-inch tortillas

Steps:

  • For the slaw: In a bowl, blend the vinegar and wasabi, and then add the cabbage and onions. Allow this mixture to marinate, or soak, for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. This marinating will soften the cabbage and onions without cooking, thus preserving the nutrients of the vegetables. Once marinated, we will hold the slaw until building the tacos.
  • For the dressing: Slice the avocado in half, remove the seed and scoop the "meat" of the avocado into a small mixing bowl. Next, with a spoon, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the sambal, tomato, cilantro and salt to taste. Mix well, then cover and hold until serving.
  • For the bison: Warm the pulled meat with the stock in a saucepan over medium-high heat until warmed. Once warm, remove from the heat, discard any remaining liquid and keep the meat warm to build the tacos. Construction: Drain the cabbage from the marinade and add 1 tablespoon slaw to each tortilla. Then add the bison and finish with 1 tablespoon tomato avocado dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground bison: Look for bison that is grass-fed and finished, as this will result in a tastier and more nutritious taco.
  • Season the bison well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices and herbs when seasoning the bison. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the bison over medium heat: Cooking the bison over medium heat will help to prevent it from becoming dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the bison: Bison is a lean meat, so it is important to not overcook it. Overcooked bison will be dry and tough.
  • Use fresh, high-quality toppings: The toppings you use on your tacos will make a big difference in the overall flavor. Use fresh, high-quality toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Ground bison tacos are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give ground bison tacos a try.
