                    Ground bison, a leaner and more flavorful choice than beef, updates the classic nacho recipe, and it's becoming widely available at well-stocked grocery stores. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 tablespoon vegetable oil  |  
                                                1/2 cup chopped onion  |  
                                                1 pound ground bison or beef  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper  |  
                                                8 ounces corn tortilla chips  |  
                                                1 cup fresh salsa verde, divided  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided  |  
                                                3 cups chopped romaine lettuce  |  
                                                1 avocado, sliced  |  
                                                1/2 cup diced tomatoes  |  
                                                sour cream  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large frying pan, heat oil over high heat. Cook onion, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add bison and cook, stirring well to break up meat, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Season with pepper. 2. Meanwhile, lay half the tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Spread half of bison mixture over chips. Pour 1/3 cup salsa over the meat, followed by half the cheese. Repeat layers with 1/3 cup more salsa and remaining meat and cheese. Bake until cheese melts and chips start to brown, about 6 minutes. 3. Serve nachos with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, remaining 1/3 cup salsa, and the sour cream. 4.
