These tacos are very popular at Native American festivals in the United States. They originated in the late 19th century in the Southwest thanks to the ingenuity of Native Americans in using the ingredients they had at hand. The main ingredient of these tacos is the crispy, golden tortillas on which the fillings are placed.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Fry the ground beef, stewed tomatoes and half of the onion in a frying pan until the meat is cooked through.
  2. Spread the beef mixture, lettuce, remaining onion, chopped tomatoes, chili sauce, and cheese over the tortilla, distributing evenly or adjusting the proportions to taste.

  3. Fried flatbread:
    Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the lard and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add 2 cups of water and knead until smooth.
  4. Form the dough into 6 balls and leave them in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  5. Roll each ball into a flat cake with a diameter of 30 cm.
  6. Heat the lard in a saucepan until it begins to smoke. Drop each dough piece into the fat one at a time and fry for about 4 seconds per side until golden brown, turning at least four times during frying.
