Indian Taco Recipe

Seasoned Hamburger:

1 pound ground chuck or sirloin

Taco seasoning

1 cup refried beans

Frybread:

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon powdered milk

1 tablespoon lard or margarine

1 1/2 cups warm water

Vegetable oil

Grated cheese, as an accompaniment

Chopped tomatoes, as an accompaniment

Chopped onions, as an accompaniment

Chopped green chiles, as an accompaniment

Chopped olives, as an accompaniment

Salsa, as an accompaniment

Sour cream, as an accompaniment

Brown the beef in saute pan over medium-high heat. Add taco seasoning, to taste. Add refried beans. Mix well and set aside.

For the Frybread: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and powdered milk. Add lard or margarine and mix. Add water to make dough soft. Refrigerate until use. Dough will keep several days.

In a heavy skillet, heat 3/4-inch of oil to 375 degrees F.

Pat or roll out dough into about 6 (1/4 to 3/8-inch thick) rounds. Slide into hot oil. Puncture once or twice. Fry until golden brown. Flip the dough over and fry other side to golden brown. Take out and drain on paper towels.

Spoon some meat onto hot bread and top with your choice of the following: cheese, tomatoes, onions, green chiles, olives, salsa, and sour cream.

the one in this photo may have settled a bit, but Indian fry bread is more akin to a sopapilla than a chalupa.

Just about the best one I ever had was from a family run roadside stand set up in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado.

They're good in Ft.Smith Montana on the Crow reservation, too.

Specialty of the house at the diner there.

This was on a trip heading up to the Sand Dunes about ten years ago. The stand was set up just north of the town of San Luis on Colo. 159, on the road to Fort Garland.

Okay. I used to have an account in Alamosa.

Once or twice a year I'd go down on a Friday, take care of business, then spend the weekend at the dunes.

Great beach - lousy surf!
