Fry Bread Tacos






















Wanted to try something from our Native Americans
When I made these I just smiled. Simply Delicious.

Ingredients
1 pound ground chuck or sirloin
Taco seasoning
1 cup re-fried beans 
Grated cheese
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped onions
Chopped green chiles
Chopped olives
Sour cream
Onions
Frybread

Method
Brown the beef in saute pan over medium-high heat. Add taco seasoning, to taste. Add refried beans. Mix well and set aside.
Spoon some meat onto hot bread and top of your frybread with your choice of the following: cheese, tomatoes, onions, green chiles, olives, salsa, and sour cream.

Navajo Fry Bread



















I love to cook and try new things. Our Native American food is something that we all should be eating. I love Fry Bread. You could eat it with honey or with your meal. I wanted to make it for dinner so I researched what to make it with, I found that you can use it as a shell for Navajo Taco's. The meal was amazing. 

Ingredients
3c All-purpose Flour
1/2tsp Salt
3tsp Baking Powder
3/4c Milk
Water As Needed To Get Dough To Come Together
Vegetable Shortening Or Lard For Frying

Method
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir with a fork as you pour in the milk; keep stirring for a bit to get it to come together as much as possible. Add just enough water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) to get it to come together.


















Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let it sit for 35 to 45 minutes to rest.
When you're ready to make the fry bread, heat about 1 to 2 inches shortening/lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat.


















Grab a plum-sized piece of dough (or larger if you want larger fry bread) and press it into a circle with your fingers: place it on a clean surface and begin pressing in the center and work your way out, stretching it as you go.


















When the circle is about 4 to 7 inches (however big you want it) carefully drape it into the skillet. Allow it to fry on one side until golden brown, about 1 minute, then carefully flip it to the other side using tongs. Fry it for another 30 to 45 seconds.


















Remove the fry bread to a paper towel-lined plate and allow it to drain while you fry the other pieces.
Serve warm!
