Navajo Fry Bread ( Navajo Taco & Dessert) - Diy Taco bell Chalupa

Hey guys, today we are going to make Indian fry

bread

while growing up. I called them popovers. I was taught they were called popovers, but I guess the correct thing to call them would be Indian fry

bread

with this Indian fry bread I'm going to make. some Navajo

taco

s and a

dessert

so the first thing you're going to want to do is add about two cups of flour and then you're going to add about three teaspoons of baking powder, one teaspoon of salt, this is totally. Optional, you don't have to add this, but I'm going to go ahead and add a good tablespoon of lard a month.

Now you can go ahead and use a fork if you don't have this tool, but I'm going to go ahead and add this lard to this flour and mix it all together, but yeah guys, I grew up eating them. I grew up in Arizona. I'm currently in California, but I grew up in Arizona and used to eat them all the time. I was younger back then, a long time ago, my best friend, she was Native American, and her grandmother used to make these all the time and I loved it, you know, you can combine them with whatever you want, red chili, you can. make a Navajo

taco

, you can put honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon and shake it up, you can do whatever you want with these, so now we're just going to take 1 cup of room temperature milk and we're going to mix this together. and make a dough, so now all we're going to do is mix this until it forms a sticky dough.

Now that we have a sticky dough formed, you'll go ahead and use a clean surface, trust me. clean my counters, you're going to go ahead and flour it and basically you're going to knead this dough until it's nice and smooth, if you want your fry bread to be nice and fluffy, you're going to have to put it on Working Girl, Get to Work. I hate kneading dough so I don't bake from scratch because I'm just not a dough kneading type of person but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get what you want so tonight.

For dinner we're going to use this and we're going to make some Navajo tacos and we're also going to make a

dessert

with it like Pia's SOPA, but the Navajo top, you know, tastes exactly like a Taco

chalupa

. Bell, so if you want a homemade

chalupa

recipe from Taco Bell, this is the same thing here, but yeah, now that we have our dough nice and soft, all we have to do is pull this apart, roll it up and fry it, but right now I have a Zumba class for you - mm-hmm it's 5:30 so I'll see you in about an hour and then we'll finish this and come back so guys it's been a couple of hours so I don't know if that's going to be a plus or a minus for the stove but we'll see and now it's nice and soft so now we're going to divide it well with half of this I'm going to make Navajo tacos and with the other half I'm going to make a dessert so let me cut it up in half, okay, now all you're going to do is pinch a little piece like that, so now that I've got my piece, let's spread it out, right.

It has to be a perfect circle. Now after you extend it, you will simply grab it, pull it and stretch it completely. Now it's time to fry. We have our fried bread, some ground beef. homemade refried beans I can't stand canned refried beans so if you buy pinto beans and mash them yourself I promise it will change your life that's my favorite salsa some tomatoes pepper jack cheese cheddar cheese cilantro he and sour cream, you.
