Ingredients
•
2 pounds ground beef
•
1/4 onion, chopped
•
1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
•
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
•
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
•
1/2 (1 1/4 ounce) package spicy chili seasoning mix
•
2 cups self-rising flour
•
1 cup buttermilk
•
2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2
Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease.
3
Stir in beans, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and chili seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Continue simmering while making fry bread.
4
Combine self-rising flour and buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop about ¼ cup dough; gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface. Repeat with remaining dough.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
6
Fry 1 dough circle until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain on paper towels; place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while frying remaining dough pieces.
7
Top fried bread with ground beef mixture; serve.
