Arizona: Indian Tacos



One day til the Super Bowl people! To celebrate Arizona, I made fry bread! Fry bread was made in Indian populations when food supplies were scarce. They are made of flour, baking soda, salt, and either milk or shortening, and then deep fried until crisp. Now they are a favorite throughout the state beyond Indian reservations.


A favorite application for these is Indian tacos. They consist of meat or beans, lettuce, and sometimes cheese or chiles on top of fry bread. I didn't have either of the last two items, but I did have salsa refried beans and shredded lettuce, so that's what I went with.

I will return with non-Super Bowl teams' food soon. Have a filling Super Bowl everybody!
