Cooking Steps

Pickle jalapeños
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Thinly slice jalapeño into rounds, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
  • To a small pot, add jalapeños, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. 
  • Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
  • Remove from heat. To a medium bowl, transfer jalapeños, including liquid. Place in the fridge to cool.
  • Wipe the pot clean.
Prep, make salsa and avocado crema
2
  • Peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • Quarter tomatoes.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
  • To a small bowl, add tomatoes, shallots, half the lime zest, half the green onions, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lime juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • To another small bowl, add guacamole and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Cook bacon
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add bacon. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook bacon in batches.) Cook for 5-8 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.**
  • Remove the pan from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined cutting board. Set aside to cool.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
  • Once bacon has cooled, loosely crumble.
Cook corn
4
  • Meanwhile, heat the same small pot (from step 1) over medium.
  • When hot, add corn, remaining lime zest, remaining green onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook stirring often until corn is warmed through, 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook bison and warm tortillas
5
  • Heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
  • When hot, add bison. Cook, breaking up bison into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Add Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm tortillas!)
Finish and serve
6
  • Drain pickled jalapeños and discard liquid.
  • Divide tortillas between plates.
  • Top tortillas with bison, crumbled bacon, pickled jalapeños, salsa and crema.
  • Serve zesty corn on the side. (TIP: You can also top your tacos with corn as well!)
