This easy Navajo Fry Bread Recipe makes a delicious fry bread that can be used for Navajo Tacos, also called Indian Tacos and a variety of other foods. Our family’s favorite! You can make these traditional or quick fry bread by rolling out Grands biscuits.

Navajo Fry Bread Recipe – Quick and Easy Version
From: JO ANN G.
I was in a rush this evening, so I thought I would use Grand biscuits, instead of making the version here. I just rolled them out with a rolling pin and put a small hole in the middle and followed the rest of the recipe. My family loves it! We also had
fried apples for dessert, and I crushed up some homemade (plain)granola bars on it. It was YUMMY!

I tried making some using this receipt, how do you keep it from being so sticky? do you put more flour in the mix or use more flour when rolling out.
It depends on how sticky it is. If it is really bad do both. If it is borderline sticky then just use more flour when rolling it out.
Do you have a gluten free version of this? Thanks.
I have a Bake Navajo Fry Bread.
1 c flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp milk, 1tsp baking powder, 1tsp under 1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350,
Mix all dry ingredients together, add milk, water(try not to over mix, so they will turn out fluffy), form a ball, divide 4 sections, flatten similar to pancakes. They don’t have to be perfect. Set into a greased pyrex pan (long one). Bake 10mins. Make sure the center of each piece is not doughy. You can make Chalupas with these. Just fill with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, dices tomatoes, sour cream, ground beef with onion. yum!
