Navajo Tacos

Navajo tacos usually take more time than I'm willing to put in so this is my simpler version. For the scones I use frozen bread dough. You could make homemade scones if you want but I think this way is a lot easier. The chili I use in this recipe is the same chili used for Texas Chili Pile On. It's a really simple quick recipe that is so tasty.

Navajo Tacos

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed

vegetable oil

Chili ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 1/2 cups water

2 (15 oz) cans ranch style beans, undrained

8 oz can tomato sauce

1 tsp cumin

3 Tbsp dry onion soup mix

2 Tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

salt to taste

Toppings:

grated cheese

chopped lettuce

chopped tomatoes

sliced green onions

sliced olives

sour cream

salsa

To make chili:

Brown ground beef and drain. Add all remaining chili ingredients. Bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

To make scones:

Cut bread dough into six equal pieces. Roll each piece out evenly. Each piece should be a 4-5 inch circle. Heat oil in a large skillet. Fry each piece of dough until it puffs up and is brown on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from oil and place on paper towels. 

To serve:

Place chili on top of scones. Top with desired toppings.
