Recipe: at dinner Indian Tacos Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Indian Tacos. Indian tacos of homemade fry bread topped with chili, cheese, lettuce, and tomato are a favourite at Aboriginal Pow Wows all summer long. The flavors were definitely there, but I do prefer the Indian tacos in which the dough is a yeast-raised dough. Somehow, that seems to fry up even better!

Not the case with these tacos.

Make sure and be really careful when cooking the fry bread.

I always eat it because it is sooooo goooood.

Indian Tacos is a Christmas Dinner tradition at our home.

If I didn't fix them each year, I'm sure I'd have a rebellion on my hands.

The original recipe was given to me by a Native American Indian in Colorado whose husband was a chief on their tribe's ranch.

The first time we had them with this couple, I knew it was a winner.

Indian Tacos instructions

Sort thru and soak the dry pintos in water overnight.
Brown the ground beef with the onion on medium heat and add the taco seasoning with the water and cook together for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Rinse and drain the soaked pintos then add them to the beef mixture with just a little water you want it to cook down eventually.
Add the Chile powder, cumin, oregano, garlic salt, bay leaves, can of chiles and sugar. Cook it on low for about 2 hours stirring once in a while it will be done when the beans are soft.
Chop, slice, grate and gather your toppings.
Spread the beef and bean mixture on top of your fry bread Add the other toppings and ENJOY! ❤️❤️😋❤️❤️.

Indian tacos AKA Navajo tacos are like tacos but made with Indian frybread (AKA Navajo frybread) in place of the tortilla.

It's the wrong fry bread because I messed it up.

But I'd already made the taco toppings and was running out of time, so I went ahead and finished the tacos, planning to make a better batch of fry bread later..

Navajo Tacos (Indian Fry Bread) If you have never had a Navajo Taco before, now is the time to remedy that situation.

The history behind this dish and the importance of the Navajo taco is something I was only vaguely aware of before deciding to make this as a recipe for my American Eats series while I'm looking at the favorite foods of the state of Arizona.
