"Hey, Victor! You mother makes the best Fry Bread in the WHOLE WORLD!!!"
(quote from Smoke Signals ...great movie!
Always looking for the best Fry Bread recipe. When we visit or call Indian Casinos we always ask if they have "Indian Tacos"... We stopped at a casino in New Mexico because they had Indian Tacos. We were sitting at a table enjoying our discovery and my wife praised the taco by saying the movie line: "Hey Victor! Your mother makes the best Fry Bread in the whole world!" The Native American employee working the buffet line heard her and gave the next line in the movie! It was great but it tells you what can happen when you have real Indian Fry Bread!
This recipe was good and highly above average. We are still looking for Victor's mother and her recipe. Keep making them, folks. Great food anytime... just ask restaurants if they serve them and perhaps one day they will add them to their menu...

Ive been making Indian Tacos all my life with my family at Pow Wow and other festivals. Ive never used seasoning nor refried beans. If you want the best tasting tacos make everything fresh. Buy a bag of pinto beans soak them and then cook them slow. Add Ham Hocks (cook first the add to beans for flavor. Cook hamburger meat then add to your beans with an hour left to cook. I cook my beans from 6 to 8 hours. I use fresh shredded cheese, diced onions (fresh, chopped lettuce, fresh chopped tomatoes. NEVER USE CANNED BEANS. In the Frybread all I use is Blue Bird Flour (the best Baking Powder, Salt and warm water. Cook dough in Conala Oil. I dont measure I just add by eye. Thats the way I was tought. Others do your powdered milk and sugar. They all taste great but I never make it that way. Just the way I was tought. Hope you try this and like it.
