Utah-style Navajo Tacos with Beans

Utah-style Navajo Tacos with Beans is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a fusion of Navajo and Mexican cuisine, and it is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The key ingredient in this dish is the Navajo fry bread, which is a traditional bread made from flour, baking powder, salt, and water. The fry bread is then topped with a delicious mixture of beans, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 can of beans (15 oz)
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream


To start, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the beans to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
In a separate skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the fry bread disks to the hot oil and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
To assemble the tacos, place a fry bread disk on a plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the bean and beef mixture. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream on top.
Utah-style Navajo Tacos with Beans are a delicious and filling dish that is perfect for any occasion. The fry bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it pairs perfectly with the savory bean and beef mixture. The toppings add a fresh and creamy element to the dish, making it a well-rounded meal. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a casual get-together with friends.
