We used to get these Indian tacos at county fairs in Oklahoma when I was growing up! So good! A delicious chili mixture served on top of out-of-this-world fried bread and trimmed with all your favorite taco trimmings, like shredded cheese, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, and salsa.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • ¼ onion, chopped

  • ½ (1.25 ounce) package spicy chili seasoning mix

  • 1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans

  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 2 cups self-rising flour

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  2. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease.

  3. Stir in chili seasoning mix, ranch-style beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes; let simmer while you finish the remaining steps.

  4. Mix self-rising flour with buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop up about 1/4 cup dough and gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface; repeat with remaining dough.

  5. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

  6. Fry a dough circle in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain on paper towels and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you finish frying remaining dough pieces.

  7. Top fried bread with ground beef mixture and serve.

Editor's Note:
