In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add warm water while stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.
Ensure the dough is well-combined, adding only as much water as needed.
Cover the dough with wrap and allow it to rest for 1 to 2 hours.
Flour your hands and the working surface to prevent sticking.
Take a piece of dough, slightly smaller than a golf ball, and roll it into a smooth ball.
Gently pat the ball to achieve a thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
In a heavy pan, heat 1-2 inches of oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Carefully fry the dough until it turns golden brown and puffs up (approximately 2-3 minutes).
Flip the fry bread halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove the fry bread and let it drain on paper towels.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
Drain any excess grease from the beef.
Add taco seasoning and water, allowing it to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Spoon the seasoned ground beef onto the Frybread.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions on top.
For added creaminess, dollop sour cream generously.
Optionally, enhance the taco with fresh lettuce and avocado slices.
