- While dough is resting, brown ground beef in a medium saucepan. Add tomato sauce, beans and taco seasoning. Fill tomato sauce can half full with water and stir in the tablespoon of flour. Add the flour/water mixture to the saucepan. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until ready to serve..
- Fill a large frying pan about halfway with your favorite cooking oil (I like to use LouAna coconut oil). Heat for about ten minutes on medium high heat..

Cut small crosses into the center of each rectangle. Fry three to four pieces at a time until golden brown..
- Top fry bread with taco filling, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream. Dig in!.
