Navajo Tacos

When I make Navajo Tacos I use a scone dough instead of fry bread.  Fry bread can be tough and I like this dough a lot better.  You can use your favorite chili for this recipe.  I have a few different chili recipes that I have used but I will post my shortcuts.  I am a busy mom and sometimes I don't have time to make a time consuming chili. I hope you enjoy!

Chili

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 onion, diced

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can tomato sauce

1 cup water

1 chili seasoning packet

4 can's chili beans

In a large stockpot brown the hamburger and saute the diced onions.  Add the remaining ingredients.  Turn to low and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Scones

3 TBS yeast, dissolve in 1/2 cup warm water

2 cups cold milk

1/2 cup shortening, melted

1/2 cup sugar

1 rounded tsp salt

3 eggs

6 cups flour

Add all the above ingredients together.  The batter will be a little sticky.  Chill at least 30 minutes.  Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares.  Fry in hot oil for about 1 minute on each side.  Drain on a paper towel.

Toppings

Diced tomatoes

Chopped lettuce

Diced Avocados

Diced Olives

Top scone with chili and toppings of your choice.
