Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Oil for frying

Instructions

Make the Fry Bread: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly and let rest for 15 minutes.
Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking until the meat is fully seasoned and cooked through.
Fry the Bread: Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll each ball into a flat circle. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry each piece of dough until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Tacos: On each fry bread, layer the seasoned meat, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheese, and any additional toppings you desire. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and watch everyone dig in!
