Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (4 oz) green chiles
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black or white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • Taco-style toppings of choice (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, etc.)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add warm water and mix until a dough forms. Cover with a clean towel and let rest while you prepare the toppings.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over low heat. Add pinto beans, green chiles, cumin, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir well, cover, and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain the fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup warm water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Press each piece into a 1/2-inch thick circle. Fry each piece until golden brown on both sides. Drain on a wire rack.
  5. Top each fry bread with seasoned beef, beans, and your favorite taco toppings. Serve immediately.
