Description

Imagine a delightful fusion – the crispiness of a tostada meeting the soft, airy texture of carnival-style fried dough. That's essentially what this fry bread offers: a slightly chewy, pliable base ideal for piling high with your favorite taco fillings. Enjoy these fry bread creations by taking hearty bites or folding them gently in half.

This recipe utilizes a versatile dough known for its ability to mimic the texture of traditional breads and tortillas, making it a wonderful option for those seeking alternatives. The resulting dough is sturdy enough to hold substantial toppings without becoming soggy or falling apart. Consider enhancing your fry bread tacos with an array of fresh, vibrant ingredients.

Creamy avocado slices, crisp chopped onion, and fragrant cilantro can add layers of flavor and texture. A squeeze of fresh lime juice will brighten the overall taste, while a dollop of sour cream or a scoop of guacamole provides a cool, rich contrast to the warm fry bread and savory fillings. While inspired by traditional dishes, this fry bread presents a unique and adaptable culinary experience.

Fry bread itself has roots in history, born out of resourcefulness and a need for a sturdy foundation for heavier ingredients. Ground beef makes a classic and satisfying filling, but the possibilities are truly endless. Feel free to experiment with your preferred protein – perhaps slow-cooked pulled pork for a tender, smoky flavor, or buffalo chicken with cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of minced celery for a tangy kick.

Each time you prepare these fry bread creations, you can explore new and exciting flavor combinations, making them a fun and versatile addition to your meals.

Instructions

    Make your fry bread dough at least 4 hours before you want to cook your tacos. Combine the almond flour, baking powder, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Set this aside. In a pot over low heat, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese by slowly stirring until melted. When the cheeses have melted together, fold it into the mixing bowl of almond flour.

    Fold the fry bread dough together until you have a wet, sticky dough. Transfer the dough to plastic wrap and use the plastic wrap to knead the dough completely together, until any white or yellow streaks are gone. Flatten the dough into a rectangle and wrap tightly before placing it in your refrigerator. Chill the dough for a minimum of 4 hours.
    3.
    When you TB of coconut oil in a small pan per portion of fry bread over medium heat. Place 1 flattened piece of fry bread in the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning. Once the fry bread has fried on both sides, transfer aside to cool. Repeat this cooking process with all portions of fry bread, 1 portion at a time.
    4.
    Once all fry bread is made, make the taco filling. Combine the ground beef with the olive oil and spices in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the ground beef is crumbly, crispy, and golden brown. Set this aside to cool momentarily.
    5.
    Chop the lettuce and grape tomatoes, and shred the cheese if necessary. Place about Enjoy.
