Navajo Tacos-Esther Rigby

I use nalley's chili con carne and then for the dough i use this recipe (this dough recipe i also use for regular dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls)

2 cups very warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/4 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp salt
5-7 cups of flour

Combine first 6 ingredients and 2 cups of flour and mix, then add flour 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms (don't let it be too sticky) let rise 1 hour. (for cinnamon rolls i roll out the dough and spread melted butter, a generous portion of brown sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate chips. roll up and cut out, then let raise for an hour and bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes) Then roll out into individuals balls (makes about 24) and let rise another 1 1/2 to 2 hours. if doing dinner rolls bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes. otherwise heat oil in skillet and fry!
