Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add milk and stir until a dough forms.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead just until smooth. Place back in bowl. Cover and let sit 15 minutes.
While dough sits, start taco meat. Add ground beef and onion to a large nonstick skillet. Break the meat apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
Once there is no more pink, add the spices, salsa, and pinto beans. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep warm.
Divide dough into 8 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each one out until it forms a 6-inch circle. Cut a small slit in center of each.
Pour 1 inch of oil in a Dutch oven and heat oil to 365 degrees.
Fry 1 piece of dough at a time for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Top each piece of fry bread with a scoop of taco meat and as many toppings as desired. Serve
