Recipe Note
- Do not overcook the Ground Bison! Just cook until it is no longer pink.
- No need to drain the grease from the ground bison as it is lean, and we use water instead of oil when cooking to brown.
- We recommend 1 teaspoon of salt per pound of ground bison. You may adjust it to suit your taste.
- Depending on the chili powder that you use, this is a mild recipe. If desired, cayenne pepper can be added to spice it up. Or, increase the amount of black pepper.
- If you like cumin as much as we do, you may more cumin.
- This recipe works great for burritos, quesadillas, and many other Mexican dishes.
