Indian Fry Bread

Mix dry ingredients together.

Cut in shortening.

Add milk.

Shape dough into a long cylinder and cut into 8 equal parts.

Flour hands and work the pieces into 6″ tortillas.

Fry in oil until golden brown.

Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme Filling

Mix dried onion with water in a small bowl and let stand for five minutes.

Combine ground beef, flour, chili powder, paprika and salt.

Mix well.

Add onions and water.

Mix again.

In a skillet, cook beef mixture until browned. Stir often while cooking so no large chunks form; it should be more like a paste.

Remove from heat and keep warm.

Add meat, sour cream, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes in that order.

Top with Taco Bell Fire Sauce, hot sauce or salsa as desired.
