Assembly

Method

Bison Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground bison, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide mixture into four equal portions and form into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bison patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness.

Roasted Corn Elote Preparation

  1. 3

    Roast the Corn

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush corn with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.

  2. 4

    Prepare Elote Mixture

    Once the corn is roasted, let it cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the cob and mix them in a bowl with cotija cheese, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

House-Cured Bacon Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Lime-Cilantro Crema Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Crema

    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each potato bun, layer lettuce leaves, a bison patty, roasted corn elote mixture, crispy bacon, and sliced tomato. Drizzle lime-cilantro crema on top before placing the top half of the bun.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Elote Bison burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
