Description
Delicious Navajo tacos built on crispy Indian fry bread, customizable with various toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup hot water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Toppings: chili beans, taco meat, lettuce, tomato, avocado, olives
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the hot water, mixing with your hands until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- While waiting, fill a skillet with 1-2 inches of oil and heat it to 350°F over medium-high heat.
- Divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces and roll each into a ball.
- On a floured surface, flatten each ball into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Carefully fry each piece of dough in the hot oil, frying until golden and puffy, about 20 seconds per side.
- Place the fried bread on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining pieces.
- Once all pieces are fried, layer with chili beans and taco meat, then top with your choice of fresh ingredients. Serve warm.
