Navajo Tacos

1/2 cup warm water
1 Tbsp yeast
1 egg
1 1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp corn meal
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
5 cups flour
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 lb ground beef (optional, you can also use chicken or leave out meat entirely)
1 can refried beans (I like to use black beans)
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 can sliced olives
1/4 cup sliced jalapenos
1 jar salsa
1 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in lare bowl with water. Add a little of the sugar to help activate the yeast. After about 5 min. add all other ingredients except 3 cups flour. Mix and cover 1 hour. Add rest of flour and knead well. Let rise double in bulk. Refrigerate until ready to use. For tacos: roll out a small piece of dough on a floured surface. Fry in a little oil in a frying pan. Drain on a paper towel. Top with ingredients you like. The leftover scones are good with cinnamon and sugar or honey for dessert!
