Recipe - Fry Bread Tacos


We love Mexican food at our house and one of our favorite places to get a taco in Des Moines is at Tasty Tacos.  We can't be going out to eat every time that craving comes on though, so instead we make our own fry bread tacos.  It starts with finding some cheap refridgerated biscuits.  We can usually find 8 count tubes at Fareway 2 for 89 cents.  (Today Fareway had a couple tubes of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits marked down to $0.25 each!)

Fry Bread Tacos

Refridgerated Biscuits 10 small = 5 taco shells
1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder

Brown beef in skillet with onion until fully cooked.  Add seasonings to meat.

Roll out or pat biscuits into about 7" rounds on floured surface (no need to be perfect circles!)  Heat 1/2 cup oil in 8" or 10" skillet over medium heat.  Fry biscuits individually for about a minute on each side or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels. 

Once you have your shells put your meat mixtiure on top and add all of your favorite taco fixings!  Enjoy!

  4. Hmmm. That's an interesting concept! I've made donuts using can biscuits before, but I've never used them like this.

    I stumbled your post. If you want to stumble back, here's mine: http://www.mamamommymom.com/2011/08/simple-things-sunday-until-we-meet.html
