Ive been making Indian Tacos all my life with my family at Pow Wow and other festivals. Ive never used seasoning nor refried beans. If you want the best tasting tacos make everything fresh. Buy a bag of pinto beans soak them and then cook them slow. Add Ham Hocks (cook first the add to beans for flavor. Cook hamburger meat then add to your beans with an hour left to cook. I cook my beans from 6 to 8 hours. I use fresh shredded cheese, diced onions (fresh, chopped lettuce, fresh chopped tomatoes. NEVER USE CANNED BEANS. In the Frybread all I use is Blue Bird Flour (the best Baking Powder, Salt and warm water. Cook dough in Conala Oil. I dont measure I just add by eye. Thats the way I was tought. Others do your powdered milk and sugar. They all taste great but I never make it that way. Just the way I was tought. Hope you try this and like it.

This isn't Mexican~! It is Native American... I am also from Oklahoma and have been making frybread with my grandmother since I was little... This may be a way to make fry bread but not the way I knew...

I'm sorry but I have been making fry bread since I was a teenager. I grew up in Oklahoma and I am Native American (which you don't have to be to make this... but I learned my recipe from an elder. You just need the basics - flour, salt, egg, milk and some sugar. You don't even need to roll it out. Once mixed just put on surface with flour until no longer sticky, divide into balls and press into the size you want with your hands. Poke couple holes in center and fry in hot oil or grease. Then fry ground beef, drain. To make it easy just add pkg. of taco season with a little water and a can of kidney beans, drained, simmer until liquid is asorbed. Put meat mixture on fry bread add toppings desired, I add picante, shredded cheese, sliced black olives, onions, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Simple, easy and delish! Also yummy when drizzled with honey.
