INGREDIENTS

  • Bread

    • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • ¼ cup warm water
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 cup warm water
    • 6 cups vegetable oil for frying

  • Chili Filling

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 🧅 1 large onion, minced
    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
    • 🧂 salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 pinch chili powder, or to taste

  • Toppings

    • ½ pound Cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
    • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and shredded
    • 🧅 1 cup finely chopped onion, or as desired
    • 1 cup finely chopped mild green chiles, or as desired

STEPS

1

Mix yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl and set aside until the yeast mixture forms a creamy foam layer on top, about 5 minutes.

2

Whisk flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into yeast mixture by thirds, alternating with 1 cup warm water in thirds, and beat to make a firm dough.

3

Cut the dough into 6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball on a floured work surface. Roll out the dough balls into flat round tortillas.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).

5

Gently place tortillas, one at a time, into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

6

Cook and stir ground beef with minced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.

7

Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Bring chili to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes.

8

Place a piece of fry bread onto a plate and ladle a generous portion of chili onto the bread. Top each portion with Cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion, and mild green chilies as desired.
