Homemade fry bread tacos loaded with savory chili, lettuce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.25 cup warm water
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch chili powder, or to taste
  • 0.5 pound Cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and shredded
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion, or as desired
  • 1 cup finely chopped mild green chiles, or as desired
Instructions:
  • Combine yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup of warm water in a large mixing bowl. Let it sit until it forms a creamy foam layer on top, approximately 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the yeast mixture in thirds, alternating with 1 cup of warm water in thirds. Beat until a firm dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball on a floured surface. Flatten and roll out each dough ball into round tortillas.
  • Preheat vegetable oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes each. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble ground beef with 1 large minced onion for about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and add diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 30 to 40 minutes until thickened.
  • Lay a piece of fry bread on a plate, spoon a hearty serving of chili over it. Set out bowls with Cheddar cheese, lettuce, 1 cup finely chopped onion, and mild green chilies. Sprinkle each serving with about 1 tablespoon of Cheddar cheese, and add desired amounts of lettuce, onion, and chilies on top.
