Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 whole Sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- as needed Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 6-inch circular disc using your hands or a rolling pin.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry each disc of dough one at a time for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and prepare according to the package instructions.
To assemble, place a fry bread on a plate. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, and sliced avocado.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and drizzle hot sauce if desired. Repeat with the remaining fry breads.
Serve immediately and enjoy your California Style Indian Fry Bread Tacos!
