Fry Bread Tacos Recipe

Name: Fry Bread Tacos
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Fry Bread; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 1/4 cups warm water; Corn oil, or other frying oil; Sonoran-style Shredded Beef; 1 pound beef brisket or chuck, cut into big 3-4 inch chunks; 1/2 white onion, diced; 2 garlic cloves; 1 bay leaf; 2 cups beef stock; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano; 1 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika; 2 medium tomatoes, diced; kosher salt

1

In a bowl or on a clean work surface combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the warm water into the center. With your hands or a wooden spoon, start working the mixture together. Sprinkle flour on a clean work surface and turn the dough out and knead lightly. The dough should be soft and moist but shouldn't stick to your hands. Add a little flour or water as you go until you reach the correct consistency. Roll the dough into a log about 3 inches wide. Let the dough rest under a clean kitchen towel for 10 minutes.

2

Cut into 6-8 pieces depending on how large you want your fry bread. Take each piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Using a rolling pin and more dusting flour, roll the dough into a flat round disk, about 1/5 inch thick. Stack your flat dough on top of one another, dusting flour between each piece.

3

In a cast iron skillet or any heavy bottomed pot/pan, pour an inch of frying oil in and heat over medium high heat. To test when the oil is hot enough, tear off a tiny piece of dough and toss it into the oil. It should immediately float and be bubbling all around the sides. One by one, fry the dough for about 2 minutes on each side or until it is golden crispy. Place the finished fry bread on a place lined with paper towels to drain.

4

Put the meat, onions, garlic, bay leaf, salt and beef stock into a medium sized pot. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and simmer for about 1 hour or until the meat starts to easily pull apart with a fork. Take the pieces of meat out and using two forks shred the meat and reserve the stock.

5

In a cast iron skillet or other heavy bottom pot/pan, combine the pepper, paprika, and oregano and turn the heat on medium high and toast the spices for about 5 minutes or until they become fragrant. Add the beef, tomatoes and a couple ladles of the reserved stock. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until the tomatoes have broken down, about 10 minutes. Taste the beef and add salt if it needs more.
