Indian Tacos

Saturday was National Taco Day!  If you’ve been here very often you know I love the “National Food Days” AND I really LOVE Tacos!  

As it turns out, we recently had tacos (although, there’s rarely a time when we haven’t “recently” had tacos) but these were a new kind, for us. 

I’ve been making Indian Fry Bread with chili for a long time, almost ever since I married my husband.  A few years ago we were visiting his family (the Indian side) in Oklahoma and at a restaurant I had these amazing Indian Tacos, using fry bread as the “shell”.  I’m not sure what took me so long to make them at home but I’ve just gotten around to it.  My family LOVED these, my husband even requested them again only a couple of days later!  

This is a super easy recipe using taco meat, refried beans, cheese, lettuce and salsa.  It’s great for a fresh take on tacos.  The recipe makes eight pieces of Indian Bread, which isn’t great left over.  If you don’t need that many cut the recipe in half, or use the extras for dessert by spreading with butter and honey to make homemade sopapillas….which I’m going to blog, eventually.  

Here’s the Recipe:

I recipe Indian Fry Bread (makes 8)

1lb hamburger

1 package taco seasoning (or 3 Tbsp)

1 can refried beans

lettuce – shredded

cheese, Mexican cheese blend or cheedar – shredded

salsa

lime wedges

sour cream

tomatoes

Prepare Fry Bread dough and set aside to rest 

Cook hamburger while dough is resting

Add taco seasoning and about 2/3 cup water ( or follow package directions)

Heat beans in a separate pan

Turn meat and beans on low heat to stay warm and Fry the Indian Bread

When bread is done spread with layer of beans 

*Putting the beans on first helps hold the other topping on*

Add layer of taco meat

Top with cheese, lettuce, sour cream or your favorite taco topping.

Another quick and easy weeknight dinner!
