BISON CHILE COLORADO

This dish can be made with beef, pork poultry or beans. For a treat I like use a bite size cut of Bison, with the Chimayo chile powder – a perfect match for the rich flavor of this succulent meat. Serve with garnishes and tortillas or use it for tasty tacos and burritos. It will blow you away, however you use it.NOTE: Try it with a side of cubed, roasted potatoes, seasoned with salt, pepper, Mexican oregano, chopped onion and tossed with olive oil. Serves 6 Heat level: Medium Hot 2 lbs. Bison steak or stew meat, trimmed, cut to bite size1 tsp. cumin powder (pan roasted seed & fresh ground preferred)1 tsp.

This red chile sauce is versatile and can be used for tacos, enchiladas, drizzle over eggs or make a pot of chile with beans and or meats. Sauté meat and smother it in sauce and braise on low. I generally make up a big batch and have some to freeze for later. So you can double up on this if you would like.NOTE: Real Chimayo chile is hard to find so go to www.peppahead.com > “ChileSources”.
