Navajo Tacos

I use frozen bread dough for this. Trust me, it’s easy and quick. Thaw the bread dough and then slice it into roughly 8 pieces. Place the pieces on a piece of parchment paper, aluminum foil, or wax paper so that the slices don’t touch. Let them sit for a few minutes while you heat up a pan of oil. Just use a big old saucepan and place a half inch or so of oil in the pan. Heat the chili in another pan.

While the oil and chili are heating, take the first piece of dough and pat it out, using your fingers to make it a larger, round piece. You can use a rolling pin for this, but I prefer the look of the fry bread when it’s been patted out. Place the bread dough into the hot oil, and cook until brown, turning it once. When it’s cooked, take it out of the oil and place on paper towels to drain for a few seconds. Then place it on a plate and let the fun begin.

Place your piece of fry bread on a plate, add a scoop of your favorite chili, top with shredded lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, black olives and any other toppings you may like.
