How to Make Bulging Bison Elk Or Venison Burritos

  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 lb ground bison (or elk, venison, or extra-lean ground beef) to the skillet. Crumble the meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1 cup cooked rice.
  5. Heat the bean and rice mixture over low heat for 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
  6. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Stack 12 large flour tortillas in a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
  7. Place one warmed tortilla on a plate. Keep remaining tortillas covered.
  8. Add 1/4 of the meat mixture to the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space at the bottom.
  9. Top with 1/4 of the bean and rice mixture, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons salsa, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and your choice of additional toppings (lettuce, diced onions, etc.).
  10. Fold up the bottom of the tortilla, then fold in the sides, and tightly roll up burrito.
