👨‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Fry Bread

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add warm water, mixing into a soft dough.

Let rest 15 minutes. Divide into 4–6 balls and flatten into disks.

Fry in hot oil (about 350°F) until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Step 2: Cook the Beef & Green Chile

Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain excess fat.

Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.

Stir in green chile, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble

Place a piece of fry bread on a plate.

Spread with warm pinto beans.

Sprinkle on Oaxaca cheese.

Spoon over beef and green chile mixture.

Add more cheese or sauce if desired.

💡 Pro Tip: Warm your fry bread in the oven right before serving to keep the outside crisp and the inside fluffy. For extra indulgence, top with crema and a sprinkle of cotija cheese!
