Ingredients:

For the Frybread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Indian Taco Toppings:

  • 1 lb ground beef or bison
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced red onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream and salsa for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Frybread Dough:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth, cover, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Shape and Fry the Dough:
    • Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each ball into a flat, round shape. In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 375°F. Fry each dough round until golden brown, flipping to ensure even cooking. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Cook the Taco Meat:
    • In a separate pan, cook ground beef or bison over medium heat. Once browned, drain excess fat and add taco seasoning according to package instructions. Simmer until well combined.
  4. Assemble Your Indian Tacos:
    • Place the golden frybread as the base. Spoon the seasoned taco meat over the frybread, then layer on lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, black olives, and a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Finish your Indian Tacos with dollops of sour cream, a drizzle of salsa, and any additional toppings of your choice. The vibrant colors and diverse flavors create a visual and culinary masterpiece.
  6. Frequent Questions:Q: Can I use alternative meats for the taco filling?
    • A: Certainly! Ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives are delicious substitutes.
    Q: How can I store leftover frybread?
    • A: Keep frybread in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat briefly in an oven or toaster oven for optimal crispiness.
    Q: Can I make the frybread ahead of time?
    • A: Absolutely! Prepare the frybread in advance and reheat in the oven before assembling your Indian Tacos.
