A round of hot fry bread turns taco night into something worth sitting down for. The dough is flour, baking powder, and salt, and it puffs up golden in a few minutes of hot oil.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when they want dinner that feeds a crowd without much on the grocery list, or when there's leftover taco meat in the fridge and no tortillas in the house.
Every recipe here is either the bread or what goes on it — Tacos and Indian Fry Bread, Native American fry bread tacos, Navajo Tacos!, Ground Beef Taco Meat with chili powder and cumin, and Pork Loin Navajo Tacos with green enchilada sauce.
Quick Tips
- 1
Check the oil temperature
Hold the oil around 350°F so the bread puffs instead of soaking. A pinch of dough should sizzle and rise within 5 seconds.
- 2
Let the dough rest
Give the mixed dough 20 to 30 minutes under a towel. It stretches thin without tearing and fries up lighter.
- 3
Poke a hole in the center
Press a small hole in each round before it hits the oil so the middle cooks through in the same 1 to 2 minutes as the edges.
- 4
Drain the taco meat
Pour off the fat after browning 2 pounds of ground beef, then add the chili powder and cumin so the spices stick to the meat.
