Bison Filling

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 1/2 large white onion, diced small
  • 1 lb ground bison
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • Add the bison meat and sprinkle with the salt. Cook until no longer pink.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, and chipotle powder, and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the water and tomato paste, stirring to combine and cook until the meat is coated and the liquid has evaporated, about 3–5 minutes.

  • Serve the tacos on soft corn tortillas with diced white onion, fresh cilantro leaves, sliced avocado, and the chipotle sauce.
