Indian Fry Bread Navajo Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Combine beans and 2 tablespoons of picante sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Combine ground beef and taco seasoning mix in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover, and keep warm while you prepare the fry bread.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough.
• On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Break off 3/4 cup sized pieces of dough, and shape into round discs 1/4 inch in thickness, making a thinner depressed area in the center.
• Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a large, deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fry dough in the hot oil until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Top fry bread with beans, ground beef, lettuce, and Cheddar cheese. Spoon picante sauce on top.

• You can make larger flats; just make sure they're no thicker than 1/4" and fry one at a time.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine fry bread dough ingredients with a fork until completely mixed together.
• Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, cover with a towel and set aside.
• Use fingers to press each of the 6 balls into flat discs about 5 inches in diameter. Have the edges be slightly thicker than the centers.
• Pour vegetable oil onto a shallow plate and coat both sides of each piece of the flattened dough in oil, then lay them in the air fryer basket (depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in a couple of shifts).
• Set the temperature on the air fryer to 375 degrees and set the time to 10 minutes, then press start.
• While the dough is in the air fryer, prepare the taco ingredients.

• Grease your hands lightly with oil and pinch off a piece of dough about the size of a baseball. Press it with your palms into a round about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Heat oil to a depth of 2 to 3 inches in a deep fryer or large saucepan. Fry dough rounds in batches until well-browned, puffy, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
