Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually pour in water, evaporated milk, and canola oil, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll into circles about 6-1/2 inches in diameter. Heat canola oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 375°F. Fry the dough circles for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef and chopped onion until browned and translucent. Drain excess fat and stir in salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, chopped green chiles, and onion powder. Stir and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Cut pockets in fried sopapillas and spoon in the ground beef filling. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and serve hot.
