  1. These are also called Indian fry bread tacos. They can be made vegetarian by replacing the ground beef with one 15oz. can chili beans or pinto beans.Simply drain most of the liquid add a little oleo, butter, or vegetable shortening and taco seasoning mix and heat until hot. Then proceed with step 7, when bread is done frying. This fry bread can also be made sweet, into what the US county fairs call Elephant Ears. Follow Steps 1.2.4.5.and 6. Then sprinkle with Confectioners sugar(icing sugar) or Confectioners sugar AND Hersheys chocolate syrup.(syrup for making chocolate milk) Talk about something deep fried and smothered in chocolate!
     
  2. Our church youth group sells these all the time for fundraisers and they are always a hit! One hint is to poke a small hole (with your finger) in the center of the flattened dough before frying it. It helps it to fry completely and not get a big bubble in the middle. We also use plenty of onions on ours as well as garlic in the meat too. Thanks, Chef Dee for posting this recipe!

  4. We just had a local fair and my hubby said these ones were better! I really liked the taste of the bread fried. It was super yummy. I will never make my indian tacos any other way.
     
  5. I grew up eating tacos the old fashion way and frying my taco shells from corn tortillas. So while I was excited to try this I had some reservations. We had them tonight and my husband and I were just floored by how much we LOVED these. It was a very quick meal too. This will be a regular substitute for traditional tacos in our house.
