As tacos go, this is a very healthy version. It makes a bunch and I package the left over amount into smaller packages. Just defrost and reheat. No muss, no fuss. I might also add that I like 6 inch tortilla's for tacos as the 8 inch size just makes for harder to handle and sloppier taco's. If you want a higher or lower spice amount just adjust to your liking. The time shown here is for cooking on low heat. It will be much less done on high heat.

How To Make crock pot spicy bison tacos

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet cook buffalo, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until brown, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat.

Step 2

Place meat mixture into a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add beans, kale, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chile peppers, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.
Step 3

Divide romaine among warmed flour tortillas. Top each with some of the meat-bean mixture. Top with chopped tomatoes, green onions, and cheese. Fold and enjoy.
