  • 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

  8. Heat the shortening or oil to 350°F in a heavy skillet(or use a deep fryer). Use enough to cover the beans, about 1 1/2 inches.

  9. Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes.

  10. Drain on paper towels.

Indian Tacos on Fry Bread – Outstanding!

I love Indian Tacos on Fry Bread for a change from regular tacos or burritos. It’s the fry bread that makes them special! I enjoy having them often.

 

Indian tacos, made with Indian fry bread, are popular attractions at most outdoor summer events in the southwest, including fairs, festivals, and most anything else where people gather.

They primarily consist of beans or ground beef, chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, shredded Cheddar cheese, and optional ingredients such as green chiles.

You can also top with salsa if desired.

It’s all served atop large rounds of crispy Indian fry bread. It’s the perfect fair fare! Just fill the taco, roll it up, and eat it!

People line up to wait their turn to buy freshly made Indian tacos. With this recipe, you can make your own. No need to wait in line!

Servings: 6
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 28 ounce can tomatoes, crushed
  • 1 8 ounce package egg noodles
  • 1 fresh jalapeno optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground basil
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 8 ounce box frozen corn kernels (or peas or green beans)

  1. Place the ground beef in a pot that is large enough to hold all the ingredients and to cook the noodles with the other ingredients. Lightly cover the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and Italian spice mix.

  2. Brown the ground beef.

  3. Cut the jalapeno length wise, remove seeds and white ribs. Mince the jalapeno - so no one gets a big chunk of jalapeno when they bite into the meal.

  4. After the meat is browned, add the jalapeno, tomato and 1 can of water to rinse out tomato can. Stir well. (Make sure the liquid is adequate to cook the noodles.) Cook this mixture for about 15 minutes to get the spices well mixed with the tomatoes.

  5. Add the frozen vegetable - bring up to boil. Then add the egg noodles - cook until tender, about 7 or 8 minutes after the mixture comes to boil after adding the noodles.

  6. When the noodles are cooked, cover and remove from heat. Allow the meal to sit for 5 - 10 minutes, covered and off heat.
