Indian Taco Meat Sauce
- In a large skillet, cook 2 pounds lean ground beef until meat is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in one 16 ounce can refried beans, 1 cup tomato juice, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning or chili seasoning and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30 minutes or until desired consistency.
- Spoon over warm fry bread. If you like, top with sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce or chopped tomatoes.
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over warm fry bread.
