Last weekend I was up in South Dakota doing a little Snow Goose Hunting with Last Call Outfitters and two of my good girlfriends. We had a blast, even if we didn’t get as many geese as we had hoped for, we still managed to get a good amount. Yes, I was that crazy girl who carried a cooler full of goose meat on the plane back home with me! I was not about to let that meat go to waste. So for this taco Tuesday, I thought I would show the versatility of goose and use it for tacos! And this recipe my friends is one of the best taco recipes to date! I based it off of my love for Chipotle. In the small town where I live we don’t have a Chipotle any where close which breaks my heart. But these tacos actually came out better than the beef ones I love so much at Chipotle. So let me kindly introduce you to Canada Snow Goose Barbacoa Tacos! Print this recipe out, because you are going to want to make these over and over again!
