Bison Tacos- Healthy Mexican @ its finest!

This is one of my personal favs... I LOVE Mexican food and this is a very healthy alternative..  The shout out for today's recipe goes out to my fav food camp instructor and owner/trainer of iChooseFit AJ Tucker..  Without him I'd be a lot less healthy...


What you will need:


2 tsp EVOO
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt (I don't use)
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes (Whole Foods has some great brands)
1/2 cup gluten free chicken broth (Whole Foods/Sunflower Market has low sodium versions as well)
1 small onion chopped
3 garlic cloves pressed
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 lb ground bison (Whole Foods or Central Market carries)
1 tsp sucanat
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Whole Wheat Tortillas


Toppings:
Fresh Salsa (Whole Foods has some great salsa!)
Fat Free Cheddar Cheese
Baby Spinach
Chopped tomatoes
Diced Avocados 
Chopped Green Onion
Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Fat Free Sour Cream (So much flavor without it so I recommend not using)
Fresh Salsa
********

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Stir in onion and stir until onion is softened & has turned translucent- about 5 min.
  • Add garlic, spices and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; stir constantly for about a min.
  • Add bison.  Break up meat & scrape away from bottomof pan to prevent burning until bison is no longer pink (5 min.)
  • Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, sucanat & vinegar.  Bring to simmer
  • Reduce heat to med/low & simmer uncovered for 10 min (mixture should not be completely dry)
  • Serve in Whole Wheat Soft Tortilla
