A yummy twist to an old favorite. The fry bread makes the difference. It's a popular request at my house. I do up everything but the fry bread in advance, and just heat up before serving. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream, or guacamole.
Ingredients
- 1 , 15.5 ounce
- 0.5 cups picante sauce , divided
- 1 pound ground beef
