Breakfast Tacos with Ground Bison and Pineapple Salsa
Start your day with a burst of bold flavors by combining savory ground bison and sweet pineapple salsa in a warm tortilla. This easy recipe brings a delicious twist to your usual breakfast routine that you'll love.
Start by cooking the ground bison and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Keep stirring until the meat is nicely browned and the onion has softened, then drain any excess fat. Sprinkle in the cumin, salt, coriander, cayenne, and add a splash of water. Give it all a good stir and let it cook for a couple more minutes so the spices blend in.
02
Cook and Scramble Eggs
While that’s cooking, whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the bison. As the eggs start to set around the edges, gently push them toward the center with a spatula, letting the uncooked eggs flow underneath. Keep doing this until the eggs are mostly set but still a little soft—about two minutes.
03
Fill and Top Tacos
Spoon the bison and egg mixture evenly into your taco shells, then sprinkle on some cheese. Serve them up with the pineapple salsa on the side.
04
Mix and Chill Salsa
For the salsa, just mix together the pineapple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño if you want a kick, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let it chill in the fridge for up to a day so the flavors meld together.

Serve with a side of black beans or a simple green salad to add extra nutrients and balance the meal. A drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream can also add a nice kick or creaminess, depending on your preference.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover meat and salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The salsa is best eaten within two days for optimal freshness, while the cooked meat can last up to three days. Reheat the meat gently to avoid drying it out.
