One little, two little, three little indian…

Some of you know that we lived in Jay, Oklahoma for 9 months of our lives (I’ve got some intriguing stories from our time there). The population of that town is over 75% American Indian. One of the GREAT recipes I took from there is called Indian Tacos. They are so easy to make for hundreds of people for maybe a fund raiser or just for two. It’s a yummy summer dish!! Here’s how (I’ll give directions for 2-4 people):

Prepare all the taco toppings you normally would consider for a Mexican night- Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, olives, salsa, ect..

Next -Brown 1 lb. hamburger meat. Add taco seasoning as directed. Instead of preparing refried beans add a can of drained black or kidney beans to your browned meat. Let simmer.

How to make the fry bread- You can google fry bread recipes online but I learned a little cheat trick that I like to use for small numbers. Thaw two frozen yeast rolls (Rhodes is the brand I use) per person. Once they are soft, roll two at a time together until they make one paper thin circle. Heat a pan with a 1/4 inch of oil standing in the bottom to medium high. Place in hot oil and watch the magic. They will puff up in seconds. Flip over to brown the other side and then remove. These should be prepared last because they cook so quickly.

Pile everything on a crispy piece of fry bread!! You eat them with a fork and knife, slicing off each bite. YUMMY!!!!
