cheddar cheese

tomatoes

-2 sliced green onions

lettuce (optional)

avocado (optional)

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.  Slowly stir in warm water with a fork.  Mix just until the dough comes together.

We are taco lovers here too but have never had them with fry bread. I'm excited to try this for our next Taco Tuesday dinner, thanks!

LOVE this fry bread recipe. So flavorful :)

I love everything about this!!! So many ways to eat this bread.

So, so yummy! Love all the delicious flavors!

This is such a fun and delicious twist on tacos! And really pretty easy to whip up for a change of pace.

I love that you used this fried bread as the taco shell! It looks so flavorful and delish!

I have heard of fry bread but never tried it. Such a decadent treat. I'll have to try your recipe!

This bread looks and sounds sooo good I have to try it!

This bread sounds delicious! Love that combo of a crispy outside and a light and fluffy interior!

I love fry bread and am excited to make my own, thanks for sharing!

EEEK! We have been looking for a recipe just like this one for so long now. Thank you so so much!

This takes "salad" to a whole new level! Can't wait to try this out at a dinner party!

So easy and so yummy! Sometimes I even just serve it with canned chili instead of the ground beef mixture. My kids love it that way.

This looks delicious and it reminds me of the bannock that our first nations make here in Canada. I can't wait to try it and compare.

Omg yum! I love fry bread tacos but never knew how to make them for myself at home! This recipe was so easy and tasted just like the fry bread I've had at restaurants in the past!

This fried bread taco is so delicious! Its actually quite easy to make as well :)

Oh these look incredible. What a delicious twist on tacos.

This is so good! And I love that it is so easy to make!

These are absolutely delicious and easy. Yes we did make like a taco on top but, so versatile. we adore them plain and warm ... yum

Made these for dinner last night on the fly. They turned out BEAUTIFULLY! My husband had never tried it before and he is absolutely obsessed! Two tacos for dinner, then another 2 dusted with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey for dessert. These. Are. LEGIT!

I have never had Indian fry bread before but this combination was brilliant! I loved all of the flavors in these and will be making fry bread tacos more often. Especially since they only take about 30 minutes! WIN!

Fries bread is popular with breakfast here in the UK. I am going to have to try making it.

That golden crispy fry bread looks amazing! I love how versatile it is, too.

I just love that I can have these sweet or savoury! They're perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend parties - fried bread goes with everything. But having it with a taco topping is seriously fab!

I have always wanted to try and make this and it came out perfect! Def something I'll be making it again. Love it with the taco filling.

So good. Tried as a taco and then with some butter, cinnamon and sugar

Beth, 
I make this and it came out so good! Thank you for a great recipe! I'll be making these from now on.

Great fry bread recipe. It turned out perfect and the whole family enjoyed it. 

There are many recipes for fry bread but this is by far the best! This made me realize how delicious fry bread is!

This Native American fry bread recipe is fantastic! The step-by-step instructions and helpful tips made it easy to follow. The end result was delicious, and I appreciate the cultural background shared. Can't wait to try more of your recipes! 🍞👌👍

We love tacos but not the crunchy taco shells. This fry bread is a much better alternative. So darn tasty. 

This fry bread cooked up delicious. I can decide whether I like it better with taco topping or cinnamon and brown sugar. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Beth. 

I tried this Native American Fry Bread recipe, and it turned out amazing! The bread came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like you described. I loved trying it both ways - as a sweet treat with brown sugar and cinnamon, and as a savory Fry Bread Taco. So delicious and versatile! 😋

This no-fry frybread recipe is still crisp and chewy—and only requires three ingredients.

No-Fry Frybread

(1 lb. 1 oz.) all-purpose flour,

Tbsp. (1 oz.) baking powder

fine sea salt

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using your hand or a wooden spoon, gradually stir in 1⅔ cups of warm water until a shaggy dough forms. (If the dough feels very stiff or dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, just until pliable.)

Lightly flour a clean work surface, turn the dough out onto it, and knead until smooth, 3–4 minutes. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature until the dough is softened and relaxed, about 30 minutes.

Turn the dough back onto the floured work surface and divide into 20 even pieces, about 1½ ounces each. Gently roll each piece into a ball and, using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into 5- to 6-inch rounds, about ¼- to ⅛-inch thick. (If the surface of the dough begins to dry out and crack, cover with plastic wrap as you go.)

Line a basket or bowl with clean, dry kitchen towels and set it by the stove. Preheat a large, dry, seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Working in batches and flipping once, cook the dough circles until lightly puffed and bubbled and lightly browned on both sides, 4–6 minutes. Keep the cooked breads warm in the towel-lined basket while you continue cooking the rest of the frybreads. Serve warm or at room temperature.
