I made these for the Robber to celebrate our new family holiday, August 17: R-DAY!!! The first day that we were together in our marriage-- living more together than apart. The day we have chosen to celebrate each year how good God has been to us in allowing us to find each other, and finally, to be together.
And for this we eat Navajo tacos.
I had never made Navajo tacos before. It's not like you need a recipe really, but just one for the bread. I chose this one randomly off the internet and made a 1.5 recipes worth (as we had guests, LRH and DRH on their last night in town, how lucky were we!). The bread probably wouldn't be the best thing alone, but everyone chowed down on it and it made a nice vehicle for the toppings. I fried it not too thick and it was just the right softness/crispiness. It is easy and relatively fast to make, so I will probably use this again even if I felt it lacked something as a bread by itself.

Ingredients:
2 C. all-purpose flour
1 T. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 C. milk
Vegetable oil for frying
Toppings:
Re-fried beans
Grated cheese
Shredded lettuce
Chopped tomato
Avocado
Green onion
Sour cream
Anything else delicious!
Directions:
1. Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together. Add flour if needed.
2. Knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
3. Heat about 1/2 inch to 1 inch oil in a large skillet. Break off pieces of the dough and either roll out flat, or use your hands. Make a thinner spot in the middle.
4. Fry until brown on each side. Let drain on paper towels. Top with taco toppings. Makes about 5-6. (The 1.5'd recipe made about 5 large fry breads and 2 smaller ones.)
