I just finished frying the bread. Getting ready to do all the rest now. This is a first for me. Stayed tuned to see the results manana.
Dump the biscuits dude ! Roll out Rhodes Rolls - 100 x better !One of my favorites, we've made Navajo tacos a couple times in the last few weeks. Once with real fry bread mix & also just rolling out flat some doughboy grand biscuits in a can. The biscuits in a can work really well for the frybread & come out the perfect size. Looking forward to your creation
My bride put what was left of our guacamole supply & sour cream on her's.Looks great. Around here, we (my bride) add cheese, guacamole, beans, sour cream, corn, tortilla strips, creamy tomatillo dressing, et al.
The bannock/fry bread making is actually pretty simple, but it does take time. Give it a try.Those look awesome. I am going to have to try that. I can cook but not so good and making breads and such
Bisquit is about the same as the mix I put together -- flour, baking powder, salt, sugar & lard.My kid's Mom who passed away many years ago made the fry bread using Bisquick. It was phenomenal and She was the best cook I have ever known. When She was making a meal there was no need to worry- I knew it would be delicious.

Have you tried the double deerskin soft soles?View attachment 70400
That's the one I meant. I usually spend a few bucks for fried bread there whenever I pass by. And once, I bought a pair of Minnetonka elk skin moccasins there because they were $15 cheaper than I normally pay online.
I wear my elk ones as casual footwear every day. The only other shoes I own are cowboy or hunting boots.Have you tried the double deerskin soft soles?
Expensive but great.
Yup. When I drove to the Kaibab or otherwise headed north, I always waited to fill up on the res.One good thing about the Res. is fuel is always cheaper there or at least it used to be
Mine wasn't perfect but decent enough for the taco.I can’t get the fry bread right when I do it. Close, but never right. Good thing is I have some friends that do get it right and they hook me up. I live real close to the Rez and we have a lot of Navajo near by. For about 10 years, I worked all over the Reservation. I’m sure I saw more of the Rez than most Navajo. I would stop and buy the fry bread when they were selling it on the side of the road in unusual places all over the Rez.
The best Navajo taco I had was at Gouldings Lodge in Monument Valley. We were near there for a few days once and everyday we went to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. It’s a must if you’re ever in the area.

The woke folks call it a 'Native American taco.'If you’re at the restaurant in Keams Canyon, you will have to call the taco an Indian Taco instead of Navajo Taco. I learned that once. It’s because it’s the Hopi Rez and they don’t want it called that.
I agree whole heartedly. Goulding are about the best you can find, in my most humble opinion. The Navajo waiters and waitresses that work there are some of them nicest people you will ever meet.I can’t get the fry bread right when I do it. Close, but never right.
