Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
•
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
•
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package chili seasoning mix
•
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
•
2 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
•
2 tomatoes, chopped
•
1 cup sour cream
Directions
1
Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; stir in water until a slightly sticky dough forms. Set aside to rest while oil preheats.
2
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3
Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a round disc the size of your palm.
4
Fry dough discs, one at a time, in hot oil until bottoms are browned, about 2 minutes; flip with tongs and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute more. Drain fry bread on a paper towel-lined plate.
5
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in kidney beans and chili seasoning; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
6
Place each fry bread on a plate; top each with a portion of chili mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
