Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk (or water)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the milk (or water) while stirring, until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes, then cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully fry each piece of dough one at a time, cooking until golden brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side). Set the fry bread on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a separate skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and mix in the taco seasoning according to package instructions (usually with a small amount of water).
Step 8
To assemble the Indian tacos, place one fry bread on a plate and top it with a layer of seasoned ground beef.
Step 9
Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your County Fair Indian Tacos!
