INDIAN FRY BREAD TACOS

Steps:

• For Meat & Bean Mixture: Thoroughly combine uncooked ground beef, refried beans, taco seasoning and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover and continue to simmer until liquid is reduced and mixture is thick. This usually takes another 20 minutes or so-just enough time to make the fry bread. For Fry Bread: Mix flour, baking powder and salt together well. Add water gradually making sure the dough is stiff. Pull off egg-sized balls of dough and quickly roll, pull, and on a floured surface pat them out into large, plate sized rounds. They should be thin in the middle and about 1/4 inch thick around the edges. Using a fork, poke holes in the dough to prevent bubbles from forming. In skillet, heat 1/2 in vegetable oil. Brown dough circles on each side until golden brown. You will need to stand over the skillet with your fork and poke at any bubbles that may come up. When golden brown, lift from oil, shake gently to remove bulk of the oil and place on a paper towel. Spread meat mixture on fry bread and top with your favorite toppings.
