2 to 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
2 teaspoons adobo sauce, from jar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chile powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Remove fried bread to plate lined with paper towels to drain. Top fry bread with beef and desired toppings. Serve with a knife and fork, or if you don't mind a little mess, just like a regular taco.

FRY BREAD TACOS II



Fry Bread Tacos II image

A yummy twist to an old favorite. The fry bread makes the difference. It's a popular request at my house. I do up everything but the fry bread in advance, and just heat up before serving. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream, or guacamole. Leftover fry bread can be used as dessert - coat it with cinnamon and sugar, and drizzle with honey.

Time 47m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.5 ounce) can pinto beans, with liquid
½ cup picante sauce, divided
1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
oil for frying
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine beans and 2 tablespoons of picante sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine ground beef and taco seasoning mix in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover, and keep warm while you prepare the fry bread.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Break off 3/4 cup sized pieces of dough, and shape into round discs 1/4 inch in thickness, making a thinner depressed area in the center.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a large, deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fry dough in the hot oil until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Top fry bread with beans, ground beef, lettuce, and Cheddar cheese. Spoon picante sauce on top.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF BARBACOA



Slow-Cooker Beef Barbacoa image

I love this beef barbacoa because the meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is smoky, slightly spicy and so flavorful. It's an amazing alternative to ground beef tacos or even pulled pork carnitas. It's also versatile. You can have a soft taco bar and let people make their own-or offer mouthwatering Mexican pizzas or rice bowls. -Holly Sander, Lake Mary, Florida

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Chuck roast or flank steak are good choices for slow cooker beef fry bread tacos, as they are both relatively inexpensive and become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Beef broth, water, or even tomato sauce can be used to cook the beef in the slow cooker. Be sure to add some spices and seasonings to the liquid to give the beef flavor.
  • Cook the beef on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours: The longer the beef cooks, the more tender it will become.
  • Shred the beef before serving: This will make it easier to eat in tacos.
  • Top the tacos with your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker beef fry bread tacos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a little planning, you can have a hot and flavorful meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give slow cooker beef fry bread tacos a try!
