Instructions
1
Prep
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and warm water into a soft dough and rest 10 minutes. Chop the onion, lettuce, and tomatoes.
2
Sear
Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes, then stir in the cumin, chilli powder, and pinto beans for 3 minutes until thick.
3
Fry
Divide the dough in half. Stretch each portion into a round and fry in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until puffed and golden. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan.
4
Build
Set each fry bread on a plate and pile the spiced beef and beans over the top while everything is hot.
5
Plate
Scatter each with cheddar, lettuce, and tomato so the cheese melts slightly, then serve open-faced and hot.
