• 1-2 cups flour
• 1 pkg. yeast (quick rise or active dry)
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. finely chopped onion
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 Tbsp. oil

Directions:

Brown meat and add taco seasoning mix with water, simmer for 25 minutes. In medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix well. Add very warm water and add oil to flour mixture. Mix by hand until almost smooth. Stir in corn chips and remaining flour to make a stiff batter.
