AUTHENTIC INDIAN FRY BREAD RECIPE

Fry bread is one of those things that is so amazing, but so few people know about it! I first discovered it last time I went out west when I ordered a Navajo taco, curious about what kind of spin on a classic Mexican meal it would be, and it came out flat on what looked like a deep-fried tortilla.  Intrigued, I bit in and was amazed by the texture of the shell of this taco! It was light and crispy on the outside and a bit denser, more bread-like on the inside.  It complemented the rest of the fixings on the taco perfectly!

So it turned out, I had experienced fry bread.  This is an authentic Navajo recipe is very common in the American southwest and it can be served up sweet or savory.  If you are going for the sweeter approach, you can top it with powdered sugar and honey or jam but if you want to use fry bread in a savory recipe, there are so many options! The most popular way to use fry bread is in the previously mentioned Navajo tacos, which are fry bread topped with ground beef, cheese, lettuce, black olives, tomatoes, and sour cream.  Exactly like a normal taco but just with a more fun shell! Other options for things to put on top includes shredded chicken, steak, pork carnitas, etc.  Personally, I had one with a bit of pepper jack cheese on top and it was a great lunch! Now the sweeter version is a completely different ball game! This version is a wonderful dessert that really reminded me of Spanish sopapillas! The honey seeps into all of the nooks and crannies of the fry bread and it’s wonderful!
