I love Indian Tacos on Fry Bread for a change from regular tacos or burritos. It’s the fry bread that makes them special! I enjoy having them often.
Indian tacos, made with Indian fry bread, are popular attractions at most outdoor summer events in the southwest, including fairs, festivals, and most anything else where people gather.
They primarily consist of beans or ground beef, chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, shredded Cheddar cheese, and optional ingredients such as green chiles.
You can also top with salsa if desired.
It’s all served atop large rounds of crispy Indian fry bread. It’s the perfect fair fare! Just fill the taco, roll it up, and eat it!
People line up to wait their turn to buy freshly made Indian tacos. With this recipe, you can make your own. No need to wait in line!
