Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat with onion until the meat is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease. Stir in chili seasoning mix, ranch-style beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the ground beef mixture is thick, about 10 minutes; let simmer while you finish remaining steps.
• Mix self-rising flour with buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop up about 1/4 cup of dough and gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface.
• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet until a deep-frying thermometer placed in the center of the oil, not touching the bottom, reads 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Gently place a dough circles into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain the fried bread pieces on paper towels and place on baking sheets. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while you finish frying the bread.
• Top fried bread with ground beef mixture to serve.

BONNIE'S INDIAN TACOS

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE MEAT AND ONIONS: Put the ground turkey in the pan over medium heat and cook until light brown. Add the curry, cumin, garlic powder, and taco seasoning. Add one cup of water. Mix gently and simmer until liquid is reduced. Meanwhile, saute the onion in a tablespoon of olive oil in a small frying pan, adding the milk a small amount at a time to keep the onions from over browning and until the onions are tender and a nice carmel color. Add the onions to the meat mixture. and stir gently to combine. Simmer a few minutes more. Meat should be very moist when served.
• 2. COOK THE TACO SHELLS: You can used boxed shells, but they are not as good as making your own. Take a medium frying pan and add some olive oil to it to fry the tortillas.
• 3. Place the cooked shells on paper towels and drain.

BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Do your prep work first and then it goes together really fast. I use a divided dish for the vegetables and cheese and then assemble the tacos after the tortillas are fried.
• 2. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Wash the romaine lettuce. I cut it as fine as possible with a sharp knife, looks like it is shredded. Dice the onion fine. Dice tomatoes. Chop the cilantro fine, and mix with the tomatoes. Put the vegies and the cheese in the divided dish and set it in the refrigerator.
• 3. Grate the cheese. Dice the cooked steak into small pieces.
• 4. COOKING THE MEAT: You will need a large pan for the taco meat and steak and a medium pan to fry the tortillas. Place the ground beef in the pan over medium heat. When it starts to brown, I use a metal potato masher to make it all the same size. When the meat is lightly browned, add the taco seasoning mix, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, and stir. Then add the salt and pepper and pepper flakes if you want it. Add one cup of water, stir, and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced. When it is reduced, add the steak. Adding it later keeps it from becoming tough. Keep it hot while you fry the tortillas. You can add a couple of spoons of water to keep it moist. Don't let it dry out (it is now ready to eat) . By the time the meat has reduced, you should have the taco shells fried.
• 5. FRYING THE TACO SHELLS: Fry the tortillas in hot oil, folding to make a shell until golden brown and then drain on paper towels. I cook the shells according to my family's preference. Some like them soft, others like them crispy. The boxed shells just don't taste the same to us.
• 6. When the shells are fried, assemble the tacos with the meat first, onion, tomato/cilantro mixture, lettuce and cheese, and taco sauce if desired. We like ours piled high with the vegies. Serve with guacamole and sour cream and a side of refried beans. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S TAIWAN TACOS

Steps:

• Do ALL the prep work first, then the assembly is easy!
• Make the salad and set it in the refrigerator to chill. Knife cut the Romaine lettuce into very thin strips. Slice the celery (from the heart). Slice the radishes into rounds, then cut the rounds into half moons. Add the chopped cashews or peanuts.
• Slice the chicken breasts into 1/4 inch thin slices about 1 1/2 inches long.
• I used a 10 inch cast iron non-stick skillet to prepare the chicken. Add some Kitchen Spray to the pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook about 5 minutes until light brown, then turn the heat to low.
• Add the soy sauce, green onions, red pepper flakes, and honey. Using the tongs, make sure all the chicken is coated. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes until chicken is done. Don't overcook!
• Fry the taco shells. Place a small 8 inch skillet on medium high heat, add olive oil (or grapeseed oil) and the sesame oil, whisk the two oils together. Fry the taco shells until light brown and drain on paper towels, cover to keep warm. Note: If you need to fry more taco shells, just add more olive oil and add the sesame oil.
• Fill each taco shell with the cooked chicken, top with a generous helping of salad on the taco and on your plate, and drizzle all with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You can serve this dish with rice or make sweet potato fries using my oven fries recipe if you wish.
