Fry Bread for Tacos or Stew

 by Notherjack
Tire of the doughy tasteless commercial burrito shells and corn tortillas offered in your local supermarket? Why not make your own taco platform? Great texture and you can make them as big as your pan allows for you extra big taco stuffers.

These are a common sight in the South West U.S. I think they originated with the Navajos. Very easy recipe that doesn't take much time and delivers really delicious results.

Once you master this then by all means take it and fly with it, experiment, create your own taste. Add some garlic to the dough, maybe some chili powder or crushed red peppers. You can also slit pockets into these for flat bread sandwiches. Lots of possibilities so go for it!

Step 1: Gathering Provisions

This is a list of the stuff you need. Pretty short list eh? Most of it you're going to have on hand anyway.

2 1/2 Cups of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon oil
1 Cup warm milk
Vegetable oil for frying

No sweat right? Let's do it.

I like your food. Quite an adaptable recipe. It is similar to many biscuit recipes but just roll it flat and fry it! I am so pleased to have found this. Thank you for this Instructable.

It can be real fun making Fry Bread for our group that meets almost every month. We have gone through 10 lbs of flour at a time.
