Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Crock Pot Goose Tacos
- Skinless leg quarters from 4 or 5 Canada Geese
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 32 ounces beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
- tortillas
- Optional: shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole, sliced jalapenos, lime wedges, and salsa.
Instructions
- Take a kid, grandkid, or friend Canada goose hunting and harvest the goose leg quarters following the directions listed above.
- Combine the Spice Mix ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle 3 Tablespoons of the spice mix over the goose leg quarters and pat well so it sticks to the meat.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the seasoned goose leg quarters in the skillet and sear on each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the goose leg quarters from the skillet and place in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil with the diced onion and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until starting to soften. Then add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute.
- Transfer the onions and garlic to the Crock Pot with the beef broth or chicken broth, tomato paste, and remaining 1 Tablespoon of the spice mix. Stir well to combine. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 5 to 6 hours.
- Shred the cooked goose leg quarters with tongs or a fork. Discard the bones.
- Serve the pulled goose meat with tortillas and desired toppings like shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole, sliced jalapenos, lime wedges, and salsa.
