Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (3 cups): Provides the structure for the fry bread.
- Baking powder (4 1/2 teaspoons): Helps the bread puff up during frying.
- Kosher salt (1 teaspoon): Enhances flavor.
- Milk (1 ¼ cups): Adds moisture and richness to the dough.
- Vegetable oil (for frying, 3 cups): Used to fry the bread, giving it a crispy texture.
- Ground beef (1 lb): Serves as a hearty protein for the taco filling.
- Black beans (15 oz, drained): Adds texture and protein to the filling.
- Lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and cheese: Common taco toppings that add freshness, creaminess, and flavor.
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter and milk to form a soft dough.
- Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest covered for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Shape and Fry: Divide the dough, roll it out, and fry each piece in hot oil until puffed and golden.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the bread fries, cook the ground beef with spices and prepare other toppings like lettuce and tomatoes.
- Assemble the Tacos: Top the fry bread with beef, beans, and your choice of additional toppings like sour cream and cheese.
Notes
- Dough Consistency: The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust the flour or milk as needed to achieve the right texture.
