Navajo Tacos
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup warm or hot water
Refried beans, warmed
Cooked hamburger
lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc.
Blend dry ingredients together. Add water slowly mixing dough with hands. When dough is sticky enough to necessitate putting a little oil on hands, it is just right. Break off ball of dough to fit nicely in one hand. As you flatten it, make it round. Make one or two small holes in dough so it browns evenly. Brown lightly in hot oil. Top with refried beans, hamburger, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, sour cream.
