Ingredients

1 pound ground bison
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
2 tablespoons water
6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
12 corn taco shells or 6-inch corn tortillas, heated according to package directions
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 fresh jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Cook ground bison and onion over medium heat in a large skillet until ground bison is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in cumin, salt, coriander, cayenne pepper, and water. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
2 Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Add to ground bison mixture in skillet. As the mixture sets, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting for 2 minutes or until egg mixture is almost set.
3 Evenly divide ground bison mixture between taco shells. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve with Pineapple Salsa.
4 Pineapple Salsa: Stir together pineapple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper (if using), and salt in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
