Ingredients: 3 pounds ground beef; 3 cups stewed tomatoes; 2 yellow onions, diced; 3 cups shredded romaine lettuce; 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes; Red and/or green chile sauce; 6 cups finely shredded Cheddar or Jack cheese; Frybread, for serving, recipe follows; 4 cups finely-milled flour (Blue Bird brand is ideal); 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1 tablespoon kosher salt; 1/4 cup lard, plus more for deep-frying

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Saute the ground beef, stewed tomatoes and half of the onions in a skillet until the meat is cooked through.
Layer the cooked beef mixture, lettuce, the remaining onions, diced tomatoes, chile sauce and cheese on the Frybread, evenly distributing them or determining your proportions to taste.

Frybread:

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the lard and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add 2 cups water and continue mixing until combined.
Form the dough into 6 separate balls, then let them rest in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Roll the dough flat or form them by hand into flat circles, 10 inches in diameter.
Heat a pot of lard to its smoking point. One at a time, drop each piece of dough into the lard and fry for about 4 seconds per side, until golden brown, turning at least four times during cooking.
