Navajo Fry Bread

For the fry bread dough, mix together all the listed ingredients; the flour, milk, baking powder, and salt.

Allow the dough to rest for at least 10 minutes.

While the dough is resting, grab a frying pan and start cooking up the meat – over medium heat – for a minute or two. Add to the meat the garlic, cilantro, and onion.

Cook the meat all the way through and then add in the cumin, coriander, chili powder, and oregano. Mix it up well and then add in the water and tomato paste. Stir it all together and turn the heat down to low to keep warm.

Grab a clean frying pan and pour enough oil in the bottom to create about a 1″ depth of oil. Turn the heat on medium high and allow it to heat up.

While the oil is heating, take your rested dough ball, rip off a chunk and roll it out thin with a rolling pin.

Drop the rolled bread into the hot oil and allow it to cook up for about a minute on each side or until golden brown. Once golden brown, remove from the oil onto a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.

Serve meat on top of bread along with additional desired toppings.
