Indian fry bread:
2-1/2 Cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vegetable shortening
1 Cup milk
oil (for deep frying)

Chalupa Supreme filling:
1 Pound ground beef
1/4 Cup flour
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Teaspoon paprika
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/2 Cup water
oil, for deep-frying
sour cream
shredded lettuce
shredded cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese
diced tomatoes
.
To make Indian Fry Bread: Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening;
then add milk.
Shape dough into a long cylinder; cut into 8 equal parts. Flour hands, then
work the pieces into 6-inch tortillas.
Fry in oil until golden brown.
To Make filling: Mix dried onion with water in a small bowl and let stand
for five minutes.
Combine ground beef, flour, chili powder, paprika, and salt; mix well. Add
onions and water; mix again.
In a skillet, cook beef mixture until browned. Stir often while cooking so
no large chunks form; it should be more like a paste. Remove from heat and
keep warm.
Build Chalupas starting with meat, then sour cream, lettuce cheese, and
tomatoes in that order. Top with hot sauce or salsa if desired.
