Recipe View Assemble the tacos: Top each fry bread with warmed beans, seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, and Cheddar cheese. Finish with a spoonful of picante sauce.

For a richer flavor, consider using freshly cooked pinto beans instead of canned.
Feel free to experiment with different taco toppings such as diced onions, sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite salsa.
The fry bread can be made ahead of time and reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal frying. Too low, and the bread will be greasy; too high, and it will burn quickly.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the fry bread dough.

    Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the bread; otherwise, they won't get crispy enough.

    This recipe is a game-changer! The fry bread is so light and airy, it's the perfect complement to the taco fillings. My family devoured them!

    Quick tip: I like to use a cast iron skillet for frying the bread. It helps maintain a consistent temperature and gives them a beautiful golden color.
