Steps:

• Prepare the Breakfast Potatoes according to the recipe below. While potatoes are cooking, prepare the Fry Bread according to the recipe below. In a medium pan, scramble the eggs and set them aside. Season the beef on each side with blackening spice. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the beef until it is cooked until a medium doneness. Add the Breakfast Potatoes, black beans, and roasted peppers to the pan with the beef and stir until combined and heated through.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the fry bread on a baking sheet, and top each piece with some of the beef mixture. Top each taco with the scrambled eggs, onion, salsa, and cheese. Put the tacos in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the potatoes into quarters and put them in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and mix until lightly covered. In a medium bowl, combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika, and chives and mix well. Pour the spice mix over the potatoes and mix well. Put the potatoes on a large baking sheet and bake until soft and browned, about 40 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add the shortening little by little until small balls form. Add 1 cup of water and mix it well with your hands; then add the rest of the water and knead the dough well. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 balls and then shape each ball into a flat circle, about 6 inches across. Fill a large heavy saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of cooking oil and heat over medium-high heat; the oil should be at 350 degrees F before you begin frying. Fry the rounds in the oil, in batches, until golden brown. Place the fry bread on paper towels to soak up excess grease.

Steps:

• Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil, orange juice, garlic and oregano in a baking dish, add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Heat the grill to high or a nonstick saute pan with a few tablespoons of canola oil over medium-high heat on the stove.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 150 degrees F, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for approximately 10 seconds per side to make pliable. Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the ingredients evenly over 1 half of each tortilla. Start with 1 slice of the cheese, followed by the ham then a few slices of the pork, a few slices of the jalapenos and another slice of the cheese. Fold the top of the tortilla over the ingredients and press on it. Brush the tops of the tortillas with some of the remaining oil and place on the grill, oil-side down and grill until lightly golden brown, pressing on the tortillas to flatten, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush the tops of the tortillas with oil, flip over and continue grilling, pressing down on the tortillas until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
