This has always been one of my favorite meals. I ate these all the time growing up and needless to say my mother has a divine recipe for them. They are such a delightful little dish! And the best part is after you fill up with dinner you use the left over tacos and cover them with honey butter for a delicious dessert. The dessert navajo tacos are just as good or better than the dinner. Enjoy!
Navajo Taco
1 T yeast
1 T sugar
1/2 C warm water
1 t salt
1 T oil
3/4 C flour
Combine the yeast, sugar and water and let sit (like any dough). Then mix in the oil and salt. Then add flour. Once that is all mixed add ANOTHER 3/4 cup of flour. Place the dough in a ball and let rise until doubled in size. After it has risen break the dough into pieces (about 5-6) and roll or shape them into tacos. Let them rise until they look ready :) To cook them you just fry them in some oil. I know thats not healthy but I'm sure you could bake them (I've never tried it though).
Top them with whatever you like! We usually do refried beans [some of you (Brad) may like to leave those off], meat or chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese (we used queso fresco), and sour cream and sriracha sauce :) Anything will taste amazing! And don't forget the honey butter for dessert!
This looks great. Can we make them when you come see us in Providence?
