Tasty Tuesday ~ Navajo Tacos

I first heard about these over at Diary of a Stay at home mom's blog. They intrigued me and thought why not.. lets to make this to switch up the standard taco. These might just be my go to for tacos as I loved them!!

Navajo Tacos

Ingredients
2 cups of flour
2 and half teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
Oil for frying

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
Cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili flakes (to taste) **I used a homemade taco seasoning in mine**
Can of Bush's Southwestern Style Pinto Beans

Shredded cheese
Diced tomatoes
Shredded lettuce
Sour Cream

Directions
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and warm water. Mix well until a soft dough is achieved. You can knead for a few minutes, or pop it in your stand mixer and beat for about 4 minutes or so. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for 20 minutes.

In a skillet, fry the ground beef until browned, add the onion and cook until translucent, add the spices to taste and cook for a few minutes more. Add in the Southwestern Style Pinto Beans, don't drain. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a small skillet, add oil for frying. You don't need a lot, I usually add about 2 inches of oil, I just don't like drowning my food in excessive amounts of oil. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, roll into a ball and then flatten to a disc that is about 6 inches wide.

Fry each one for a minute or so until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side until golden brown as well. Drain on paper towels.

To serve, spoon meat mixture onto each disc, add the toppings to your liking.
