FRY BREAD TACOS

Method

FRY BREAD TACOS

  1. 1

    Make the fry bread dough

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth.

  2. 2

    Rest the dough

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil for frying to 350-375°F (175-190°C).

  4. 4

    Divide and shape the dough

    Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into discs about 1/4 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Fry the fry breads

    Carefully slide the dough discs into hot oil. Fry until puffed and golden on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the fillings

    Warm the refried beans in a saucepan until smooth. In a separate skillet, sauté the onion slices until translucent, then add the green chili strips and cook until heated through.

  7. 7

    Assemble the tacos

    Place a fry bread on a plate, spread with warm refried beans, top with the onion and green chili mixture. If desired, crown with another fry bread to make a double-decker taco.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while fry breads are warm. Offer optional toppings like cheese, cilantro, or lime.
