Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the frybread.
2. Slowly add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. In the meantime, prepare the Indian spiced meat. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
6. Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks.
7. Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the meat. Stir well to combine all the spices.
8. Reduce the heat to low and let the meat mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
9. While the meat is simmering, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
10. On a floured surface, flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
11. In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat for frying the frybread.
12. Carefully place the flattened dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
13. In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to make the cilantro sauce. Stir well.
14. To assemble the Indian Tacos Deluxe, place a frybread on a plate and spoon a generous amount of the Indian spiced meat over it.
15. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, shredded cheese, sour cream, and a drizzle of cilantro sauce.
16. Repeat for the remaining frybread and serve hot.
17. Enjoy the fusion of flavors in these Indian Tacos Deluxe!
