morton Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I have fond memories of eating Navajo Tacos either at Pow Wows in Washington State or just at stands in Santa Fe New Mexico as a kid. About a year ago I guess I decided to make some at home being that I am far away from anywhere such a thing could be had. I used the recipe here but I used some fraction of whole wheat flour cut into the all purpose. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2012/06/28/county-fair-fried-dough-happy-fry-day https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/county-fair-fried-dough-recipe I topped with black beans and a pico as above. I would have gone for a more traditional fair type topping but went with what we had on hand and it was good. In the course of researching the dish online I found that there was a lot of push back from Native Americans about the dish and it's heritage, along with some love and straight forward videos of grandma's making it super easy looking. At first I was prone to dismiss the hate as sort of "woke" but as I read more about the origins of marching the Navajo from fertile ground and into the dessert and making them dependent on subsidence rationing of flour from the government I was persuaded and once again we find the story of our nation has both greatness and tragedy. I think the last time I had a proper one was buying fireworks at the rez sometime around 2005. I am not sure but I think the OG version is pretty much white people taco on top of fry bread so like shredded lettuce, black olives, pinto beans, yellow cheese, pico, or something. where did you get yours @fat ralphydid you go to a pow wow or what? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when you posted yours I am sure I asked the same question 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Morton, growing up in a town that I was 50% Ute and 50% white, this was a treat at Pow Wows or a local place that would serve em. Loaded up or with some honey butter. Holy shit I haven’t had one since I last visited home. soo much fire right here. Edited May 12 by SMdoubleXL 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUGR Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The more I look at those pictures side by side the more I am thinking about how heinous it would be to eat sushi and BBQ at the same time. Those flavors def don’t go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
