My niece gave me this hearty recipe. It came from a Native American friend of hers in Eufaula, Oklahoma.—Robin Wells, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Ingredients:
1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
filling:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1 pound hot bulk pork sausage
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup water
oil for deep-fat frying
chopped tomato
finely chopped onion
shredded lettuce
shredded cheddar cheese
taco sauce
Directions:
1. Allow dough to rise. Meanwhile, for filling, cook beef and sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, beans and water. Simmer 15-20 minutes or until the water is almost evaporated; set aside.
2. After dough rises, punch down. Make tortillas by dividing dough onto 10 to 12 equal balls. Using a small amount of flour, roll each ball into an 8-in. circle (tortillas should be thin).
3. Fry each tortilla in 1/4-in. hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Drain tortillas on paper towels; keep warm. Top each tortilla with meat mixture, tomato, onion, lettuce, cheese and taco sauce. Yield: 10-12 servings.
