Fry Bread Taco Assembly:
Fry Bread, recipe above

1or 2 large firm-ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
3/4 pound mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2pound (about 4 cups) shredded lettuce
1 1/4 cups green onions, thinly sliced
1cup purchased or homemade salsa
1 cup purchased or homemade guacamole
1cup sour cream

Directions

Fry Bread Recipe: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder and salt.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in luke warm water for about 5 minutes. Stir in the melted margarine.

Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well, using your hands if needed. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Leave the dough in a ball on the floured surface, cover with the bowl you mixed it in, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet or frying pan.

Divide dough into 6-8 balls. Roll out each ball into a flat circle. Then take your finger and make a small hole in the middle of each dough circle.

One at a time, place the dough in the hot oil. When lightly browned, turn and fry on the other side, 30-60 seconds. Drain on a paper towel.

Chili Beans Recipe: Sort and discard debris from beans; rinse well. Put beans in 3-4 quart pan with 1-quart water; bring to boiling on high heat. Cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain beans, set aside.

Rinse and dry pan and return to medium heat. Add onion and oil; stir until onion is translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add onions to beans.

Crumble beef in pan; stirring occasionally, cook over high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes. Discard fat.

Add beans and onion to meat along with chicken broth. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, dry oregano leaves, and dry basil leaves. Bring to boiling over high heat; simmer, covered until beans are tender to bite, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

If you want to reduce liquid, uncover and boil chili, stirring often, until desired thickness. Use right away or cool, cover, and chill up to 3 days. To reheat, stir often over medium-high heat until boiling.

Fry Bread Taco Assembly: Lay a piece of hot fry bread on a plate. Spoon some chili bean mixture onto the fry bread, then top with cheese, lettuce, onions and tomatoes. Top tacos with salsa, guacamole and sour cream, to taste.
