Oklahoma Indian Tacos

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 2
Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease.

Step 3
Stir in chili seasoning mix, ranch-style beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes; let simmer while you finish the remaining steps.

Step 4
Mix self-rising flour with buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop up about 1/4 cup dough and gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface; repeat with remaining dough.

Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Step 6
Fry a dough circle in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain on paper towels and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you finish frying remaining dough pieces.

Step 7
Top fried bread with ground beef mixture and serve.
