Our Family Recipes

I love these because of the history behind them. They truly are Navajo tacos from the time of the "Trail of Tears". My family really enjoys the taste. They are fried so definitely not a frequent food, but still yummy.




Navajo Tacos
2 cup unbleached flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs powdered milk
1 Tbs baking powder
1 cup water
Vegetable oil for frying
Extra flour to flour your hands


Heat oil on stove to about 350 degrees. (Med-hi) Mix flour, salt, milk and baking powder together. Add water and mix with your hands. Knead it and shape it into 8 balls. Pull each dough ball and flatten. Spread and pull. Don't worry if it is round. Then put into oil. Turn after a couple of minutes. When the other side is golden remove from oil and put on paper towel to drain.


Serve with your favorite taco toppings.
