Navajo Tacos

These are a family favorite! If you need to make them fast you can use Rhoads frozen rolls for the fry bread(scones). I also will make the beans in the crock pot sometimes and sometimes on the stove. The scone recipe makes quite a few so it is fun to have the leftovers for later.

Beans
I use 5 cans of various beans(whichever I have in my cupboard at the time) Usually kidney beans, black beans, white beans, chili beans.(do not drain!!)
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 pkg of either taco or chili seasoning(I like the taco better but I use whatever I've got)
you can add a pound of cooked hamburger or cooked onions.
I have put a can of corn in it and it has been good as well.
Cook it on the stove with lid on med for about 30 minutes and them on low until you are ready to eat. It will be a little runny if you don't let it cook down a little bit.
