Prepare Frybread: In a large bowl, combine Frybread ingredients. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle.
Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each frybread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare Beef Filling: In a large skillet, brown Ground Beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add Onion and Garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in Chili Powder, Cumin, Paprika, and Cayenne Pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in Beef Broth and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Assemble Tacos: Place a frybread on each plate. Top with Pinto Beans, Beef Filling, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cheddar Cheese, and Sour Cream. Serve immediately.
