Navajo Tacos (Fry Bread)

4 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 2/3 cup warm water

shortening for frying

Combine flour salt and baking powder in a bowl. Add enough warm water to make a soft dough. Knead thoroughly, cover and let dough rest for a half an hour. Dough should be soft but not sticky. Pinch off dough about the size of an egg. Shape it round and flat and 8-9 inches in diameter. Melt shortening in large frying pan. Fry bread in pan until brown on each side.

Warm 3 cans chili.

Top bread with chili, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa and sour cream. YUM!

  1. Have you ever tried it with wheat flour? I wonder if it would work the same?
