Meat

• 1/4 lb ground beef (115 g)

• 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil (7 ml)

• 1/2 tsp cumin (3 g)

• 1/2 paprika (3 g)

• 1/2 tsp chili powder (3 g)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (3 g)

• 1/2 chili flakes (3 g)

• Salt & pepper

Toppings

• Shredded lettuce

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Diced tomatoes

• Canned pinto beans

Preparation:

Heat a pan over medium high heat and add the ground bison, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the spices and season to taste with salt & pepper. To assemble, top the frybread with the bison, pinto beans, tabasco, cheese, lettuce, tomato and sour cream.

Notes:

• To keep true with the local ingredients of the region, you could also use bison or other wild game meat as a substitute for the beef.
