Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
• 1 whole Sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
• 0 as needed Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 6-inch circular disc using your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry each disc of dough one at a time for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 6

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and prepare according to the package instructions.

Step 7

To assemble, place a fry bread on a plate. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, and sliced avocado.

Step 8

Top with a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and drizzle hot sauce if desired. Repeat with the remaining fry breads.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your California Style Indian Fry Bread Tacos!
