How to Make Amy's Favorite Indian Fry Bread Tacos
- **Meat & Bean Mixture:** In a large saucepan, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans, 1 packet taco seasoning, and 1 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Uncover and continue to simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced and the mixture is thickened.
- **Fry Bread:** While the meat and bean mixture simmers, prepare the fry bread dough.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups warm water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into egg-sized balls (about 8-10).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat each ball into a large, thin circle (about 8-10 inches in diameter), slightly thicker around the edges (about 1/4 inch).
- Use a fork to poke several holes in each circle to prevent bubbles from forming while frying.
- Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place a fry bread circle in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip.
- Use a fork to gently prick any bubbles that form on the surface.
- Remove the fry bread from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- **Assemble Tacos:** Spread the meat and bean mixture evenly onto the warm fry bread. Top with your favorite taco toppings and serve immediately.
