FRY BREAD TACOS II



Fry Bread Tacos II image

A yummy twist to an old favorite. The fry bread makes the difference. It's a popular request at my house. I do up everything but the fry bread in advance, and just heat up before serving. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream, or guacamole. Leftover fry bread can be used as dessert - coat it with cinnamon and sugar, and drizzle with honey.

FRY BREAD TACOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
The Diner's Beans, recipe follows
The Diner's Chili, recipe follows
2 cups finely shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
Sour cream
1 pound dry pinto beans, soaked overnight in enough water to cover
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
Salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds 80/20 ground sirloin
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 8-ounce can chopped tomatoes
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon dark chili powder
1 tablespoon light chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • To make the fry bread dough, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the hot water a little at time, kneading until a sticky dough forms. It will be tacky and lumpy, but should not contain any dry clumps of flour. Drizzle the 3 tablespoons vegetable oil over the dough and then tilt and rotate the bowl a bit to make sure that all of the visible surface of the dough has been coated. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and let rest at room temperature for about 2 hours. (The dough will not rise or expand while resting.)
  • To fry the dough, heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour tossed into the oil gives off an audible sizzle. Pull off a handful-size chunk of dough and shape it into a thin disk without overhandling the dough. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. (Trust your eyes and nose to tell you when the bread is ready.) Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough, bringing the oil back up to 350 degrees F between batches. (You should end up with 8 to 10 medium-sized pieces of fry bread. If your pan is 12 inches or larger, you can experiment with cooking two pieces at a time.)
  • To serve, top each piece of fry bread with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the Beans and 1/4 cup of the Chili. Top with some cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
  • Rinse the soaked beans, place in a medium pot with 10 cups water and turn the heat to medium-low. Add the onions, oregano, cilantro, pepper flakes, garlic, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef, onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned, about 7 minutes. Skim off any fat and then stir in the tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the dark chili powder, light chili powder, paprika, cumin and pepper flakes and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 2 1/2 hours.

AUTHENTIC NAVAJO INDIAN FRY BREAD (TACO BREAD)



Authentic Navajo Indian Fry Bread (Taco Bread) image

Step by easy step recipe for a Native American all-purpose flat bread dating back to the nineteenth century. Fry bread is considered a food of inter-tribal unity and is made at all Indian pow wows. It has a crispy outside and a chewy inside. Serve with butter & honey, powdered sugar, or cinnamon & sugar. Or add 'taco' ingredients to the top to make an Indian taco bread salad. You can also fill these with anything then fold them up to eat. Or simply serve plain with soup, stew, etc. *EDITED TO ADD: This is an old recipe and I know many of us no longer use so much salt - if that's the case for you then I suggest REDUCING THE SALT BY HALF.
