Whilte taking a trip to the Grand Canyon, my family drove through the Navajo reservation and stopped at a little cafe for dinner. I complimented the young waiter on the delicious Indian fry bread and he gave me the recipe. It is very easy to make. -Mildred Stephenson, Hartselle, Alabama

GORDITAS



Gorditas image

Gorditas are similar to pita pockets but much heartier! Can be stuffed with just about anything! I make them with a mixture of corn masa mix and all-purpose flour.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup masa harina (instant corn masa mix)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup hot water
1 cup oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the masa harina, salt and hot water. Gradually mix in the shortening and flour. If the dough seems dry, add a little more hot water. Form the dough into balls that will fit into the palm of your hand.
  • Line a work surface with waxed paper or plastic. Sprinkle with water. Flatten balls on the wet surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Cook the gorditas on each side until they are cooked through.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Fry each gordita until puffed, pressing it down into the oil occasionally with a spatula. Drain briefly on paper towels, cut the tips off and stuff full of your favorite foods.

FRY BREAD TACOS II



Fry Bread Tacos II image

A yummy twist to an old favorite. The fry bread makes the difference. It's a popular request at my house. I do up everything but the fry bread in advance, and just heat up before serving. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream, or guacamole. Leftover fry bread can be used as dessert - coat it with cinnamon and sugar, and drizzle with honey.

Time 47m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.5 ounce) can pinto beans, with liquid
½ cup picante sauce, divided
1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
oil for frying
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Combine beans and 2 tablespoons of picante sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine ground beef and taco seasoning mix in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover, and keep warm while you prepare the fry bread.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough.
