Recipe information

Make Bison Birria Tacos in just 3h . Pre-colonial picnic food featuring bison.

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Chiles

Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Soak them in hot water for 15 minutes until softened.

2. Make the Marinade

In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Add a bit of the soaking water if needed to achieve a sauce-like consistency.

3. Prepare the Bison

In a large bowl, coat the bison chuck roast with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

4. Cook the Bison

In a large pot, add the marinated bison, bay leaves, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 hours, until the meat is tender. Shred the bison with two forks.

5. Prepare the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet. Fill each tortilla with shredded bison, and top with fresh cilantro and diced radishes. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos before serving.
