NAVAJO TACOS for dinner | Fry Bread Recipe

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt to 3 cups of all-purpose flour and mix.

Create a well in the flour mixture and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and 1 cup of hot water.

Use clean hands to combine the ingredients and form a dough ball.

Knead the dough until smooth and place it back into the bowl.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a pan, cook 1 pound of lean ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, and chili powder to taste.

Use ranch style beans for the taco filling, or substitute with boiled pinto or black beans if preferred.

Divide the rested dough into about 10 dough balls for thinner fry bread.

Flatten each dough ball into a disc, adjusting thickness as desired.

Heat cooking oil in a pan to around 350°F for frying the dough.

Fry each disc in the preheated oil until golden brown on both sides, using tongs to flip them.

Drain the fried bread on paper towels on a baking sheet.

Assemble the Navajo tacos by layering ranch style beans, ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, and topping with Mexican crema or sour cream.
