Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk (or water)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the milk (or water) while stirring, until a soft dough forms.
Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes, then cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk about 6-7 inches in diameter.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry each piece of dough one at a time, cooking until golden brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side). Set the fry bread on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a separate skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and mix in the taco seasoning according to package instructions (usually with a small amount of water).
To assemble the Indian tacos, place one fry bread on a plate and top it with a layer of seasoned ground beef.
Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your County Fair Indian Tacos!
