Preparation
1
Warm tortillas and bake bacon

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Wrap tortillas in foil, then place in the top of the oven until warm, 4-5 min. Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake bacon in the middle of the oven until crispy and cooked through, 8-12 min.**

2
Prep

Meanwhile, core, then cut poblano into 1/2-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping poblanos!)Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl). Roughly chop cilantro. Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/2-inch pieces. Juice half the lime into a medium bowl. Set aside. Cut remaining lime into wedges.

3
Start bison and onions

Heat a medium oven-proof pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (dbl for 4 ppl), then bison and onions. Cook, stirring and breaking up bison into smaller pieces, until onions are tender, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.

4
Cook peppers and sauce

Add poblanos to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until poblanos are tender-crisp and no pink remains in bison, 2-3 min.** Carefully drain and discard any fat from the pan. Add Enchilada Spice Blend, tomato sauce base and 2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until spices are fragrant and sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the pan from heat. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, transfer mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish.)Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese melts, 3-4 min.

5
Make salad

Meanwhile, whisk 1/4 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) into the bowl with lime juice. Add avocado, spring mix and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.

6
Finish and serve

When cheese is melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven and crumble bacon over top. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve tortillas, bison-cheese mixture and avocado salad family-style. Serve lime wedges alongside.
