Simple bison tacos (not so simple)

 So, this is a weekday meal that you can prep ahead of time. 

  • 2 cups spinach (1/2 a bag that I get at the farmer's market)
  • 1 bucket of mushrooms (whatever that container is they come in in the supermarket)
  • 1 lb. ground bison
  • 1 red or green or yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon 
  • cilantro, avocado, chopped lettuce... the works

Simple directions:

  1. make the spice rub. (you can do this ahead of time or at the time, no matter which.) You will end up using most of this for the meat, but reserve a little to sprinkle onto the peppers and onions.
  2. use a food processor to coarsely chop up the spinach and mushrooms. (easy to do ahead if you, like me, do a lot of food prep at the beginning of the week.)
  3. combine the spice rub with the bison. 
  4. Put a tbsp of oil in a frying pan and cook up the ground bison.
  5. When it is browned and really getting there, add the mushrooms and spinach. Combine well, let the moisture cook off. 
  6. Check and effing correct the seasoning. 
  7. In a separate pan, cook up the onions and peppers. Sprinkle with seasoning. 
  8. at some point, make sure to chop the lettuce and the avocado, cilantro, or whatever else you need. This should probably be somewhere between step three and four. Whatever.
  9. Heat the tortillas. Or make a rice bowl. Or just eat it. Bisony goodness.
