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.

Fry the rounds in the oil, in batches, until golden brown. Place the fry bread on paper towels to soak up excess grease.
