Directions

  1. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bison and cook until browned and cooked through. Season with the Bison Seasoning. Set aside.

  3. Build the burritos by layering them with the pepper jack cheese, bison, black beans and Caramelized Onions. Place the burritos seam-side down in the hot skillet to seal them; flip when browned on one side. Finish with the Spicy Ranchero Sauce. Add crumbled queso fresco and cilantro over the top if desired.
