Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 can (15 ounces) Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Salsa
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in milk gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2 minutes, then divide it into 6 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a round, flat circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers (approximately 350°F).
Fry each piece of dough for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid thickens.
Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until warm.
To assemble the tacos, spread a layer of warm refried beans over each piece of fry bread.
Top with seasoned ground beef mixture, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Indian Tacos!
