- Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add two teaspoons of olive oil and saute the onion, until translucent and golden.
- Once the onion begins to soften, push to one side of the pan and add the ground bison. When the meat is browned and no longer pink, season with 1 teaspoon of salt.
- In a small bowl, combine all the spices except the salt.
- Once the ground bison is cooked, strain it to remove any fats and return it back to the pot. Add the tomatoes, hatch chilies.
- Stir in the spice mixture and continue to cook over medium-low heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer add two cups of chicken stock and bring back up to a boil.
- Cover, and lower the heat to simmer. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.
- Remove the lid and add the beans, mix together and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the masa harina with 1/4 cup of water or broth. Mix into a smooth paste. If your mixture is too dry, add a couple more tablespoons of water. You should end up with a paste just thin enough to pour.
- Slowly pour the masa mixture into the simmering chili and mix well to combine.
- Allow to cook another 10-12 minutes to thicken up the chili. Remove chili from heat and serve.
Serve with sour cream, avocado and chopped fresh tomato.
