These delicious Indian Tacos are popular in Canada, where I first tasted them, as well as the whole of North America. They are a First Nations take on Mexican tacos, but in place of maize tortilla tacos, they use Bannocks or Indian fry Bread as a base.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 cooked bannocks, fry bread
- 400g lean minced beef
- 1 sachet taco seasoning

- chopped tomatoes
- 4 spring onions, chopped (or half an onion, peeled and chopped with fresh chives)
- 125g tinned sweet corn
