1 - cup radishes, washed, sliced into rounds, then cut the rounds in half
1 - cup thin sliced celery from the heart
2 - tablespoons chopped cashews or peanuts
DRESSING
- you can use any vinaigrette that isn't sweet. i used a balsamic vinaigrette.

Steps:

  • Do ALL the prep work first, then the assembly is easy!
  • Make the salad and set it in the refrigerator to chill. Knife cut the Romaine lettuce into very thin strips. Slice the celery (from the heart). Slice the radishes into rounds, then cut the rounds into half moons. Add the chopped cashews or peanuts.
  • Slice the chicken breasts into 1/4 inch thin slices about 1 1/2 inches long.
  • I used a 10 inch cast iron non-stick skillet to prepare the chicken. Add some Kitchen Spray to the pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook about 5 minutes until light brown, then turn the heat to low.
  • Add the soy sauce, green onions, red pepper flakes, and honey. Using the tongs, make sure all the chicken is coated. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes until chicken is done. Don't overcook!
  • Fry the taco shells. Place a small 8 inch skillet on medium high heat, add olive oil (or grapeseed oil) and the sesame oil, whisk the two oils together. Fry the taco shells until light brown and drain on paper towels, cover to keep warm. Note: If you need to fry more taco shells, just add more olive oil and add the sesame oil.
  • Fill each taco shell with the cooked chicken, top with a generous helping of salad on the taco and on your plate, and drizzle all with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You can serve this dish with rice or make sweet potato fries using my oven fries recipe if you wish.

2 pounds ground beef

½ (1.25 ounce) package spicy chili seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

CALIFORNIA STYLE INDIAN FRY BREAD TACOS



California Style Indian Fry Bread Tacos image

If you have ever been to the State Fair in Sacramento, you would have seen booths selling these wonderful tacos! One definitely makes a meal!

Provided by That Napa Chicken R

Categories     Native American

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup water
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 lb ground beef
1 cup diced onion
salt and pepper
1 head lettuce, shredded
3 tomatoes, diced
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (3 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the breads:.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, powdered milk, and baking powder into a large bowl. Pour the water over the flour mixture all at once and stir the dough with a fork until it starts to form one big clump.
  • Flour your hands. Using your hands, begin to mix the dough, trying to get all the flour into the mixture to form a ball.
  • NOTE: You want to mix this well, but you do NOT want to knead it. Kneading it will make for a heavy Fry Bread when cooked. The inside of the dough ball should still be sticky after it is formed, while the outside will be well floured.
  • Cut the dough into four (4) pieces. Using your floured hands, shape, stretch, pat, and form a disk of about 5 to 7 inches in diameter.
  • Use a large dutch oven and heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (If you don't have a thermometer you can tell if the oil is ready for each batch when a un-popped popcorn kernel is dropped in and pops immediately!).
  • Take the formed dough and gently place it into the oil, being careful not to splatter the hot oil. Press down on the dough as it fries so the top is submersed into the hot oil. Fry until brown, and then flip to fry the other side. Each side will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • The bread can be kept warm in a 200°F oven for up to 1 hour. They refrigerate well and can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Make the Tacos:.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, brown ground meat and onions until cooked; add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Place Fry Bread, cupped side up, on separate plates. Layer ground meat, lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, and green chiles onto top of each Fry Brad. Top with sour cream, if desired.

BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS



BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS image

Beefy Steak Tacos is a recipe we always make the day after we grill. It is a great way to use up that left-over steak. Easy to make, flavorful, and company worthy! The two textures of beef kicks it up a big notch! Enjoy!

Provided by BonniE !

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups of left-over grilled steak, small diced
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon a-1 sauce
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspooon cumin
taco seasoning to taste
salt and pepper to taste
................................
12 white or yellow corn tortillas
olive oil for frying
.....................................
top tacos with:
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 head romaine lettuce, cut fine
1 white onion, diced fine
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine
guacamole, sour cream
la victoria green hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Do your prep work first and then it goes together really fast. I use a divided dish for the vegetables and cheese and then assemble the tacos after the tortillas are fried.
  • 2. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Wash the romaine lettuce. I cut it as fine as possible with a sharp knife, looks like it is shredded. Dice the onion fine. Dice tomatoes. Chop the cilantro fine, and mix with the tomatoes. Put the vegies and the cheese in the divided dish and set it in the refrigerator.
  • 3. Grate the cheese. Dice the cooked steak into small pieces.
  • 4. COOKING THE MEAT: You will need a large pan for the taco meat and steak and a medium pan to fry the tortillas. Place the ground beef in the pan over medium heat. When it starts to brown, I use a metal potato masher to make it all the same size. When the meat is lightly browned, add the taco seasoning mix, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, and stir. Then add the salt and pepper and pepper flakes if you want it. Add one cup of water, stir, and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced. When it is reduced, add the steak. Adding it later keeps it from becoming tough. Keep it hot while you fry the tortillas. You can add a couple of spoons of water to keep it moist. Don't let it dry out (it is now ready to eat) . By the time the meat has reduced, you should have the taco shells fried.
  • 5. FRYING THE TACO SHELLS: Fry the tortillas in hot oil, folding to make a shell until golden brown and then drain on paper towels. I cook the shells according to my family's preference. Some like them soft, others like them crispy. The boxed shells just don't taste the same to us.
  • 6. When the shells are fried, assemble the tacos with the meat first, onion, tomato/cilantro mixture, lettuce and cheese, and taco sauce if desired. We like ours piled high with the vegies. Serve with guacamole and sour cream and a side of refried beans. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Indian tacos are a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Try adding different spices, herbs, and toppings.
  • Make sure the fry bread is cooked properly. It should be golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the tacos immediately. This will ensure that the fry bread is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Indian tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give Indian tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
