These fry bread tacos are a favorite at aboriginal pow wows all summer long. For easier eating, especially at picnics, cut cooked fry bread into crouton-sized pieces; divide onto individual plates before adding the remaining ingredients on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 cups oil for frying , or as needed
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can kidney beans , 15 ounce
  • 1 package chili seasoning mix , 1.25 ounce
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes , chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; stir in water until a slightly sticky dough forms. Set aside to rest while oil preheats.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a round disc the size of your palm.

  4. 4

    Fry dough discs, one at a time, in hot oil until bottoms are browned, about 2 minutes; flip with tongs and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute more. Drain fry bread on a paper towel-lined plate.

  5. 5

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in kidney beans and chili seasoning; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Place each fry bread on a plate; top each with a portion of chili mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
