It just dawned on me that I totally forgot to post a recipe last week!! I sooo apologize my faithful readers and will make up for it this week by posting two..that's right I said it TWO recipes this week.
I've been thinking about this next recipe for a loooonnnggg time. When I was living in Colorado they had Pow Wow's during the summer and the general public could go and watch the local tribes participate in tribal dances, hatchet throwing contests and other Native American events. I used to go with an ex-boyfriend of mine who was half Native American and my favorite event was the jingle dress dance competition. All those cute little girls and boys dressed up in thier jingle dresses and doe skin pants doing traditional dances and showing off their home made outfits..awww. I know what's not to love about that right?! The only better than a jingle dress competition is an Indian Taco. I remember the first time I ate one of these, I had NO IDEA it was going to spark a love affair with soft, pillowy, fried bread. If anyone has ever had a Native American Taco you know of the magical deliciousness I speak of.
For the longest time the only place I could indulge this food love affair was at the local Pow Wow's. When I moved away from Colorado I can't say I was really upset except for the idea that I would never again get to indulge in an Indian Taco or have Indian Fry Bread. My mind could not accept this for a fact so I set out on a mission to find a recipe for Indian Fry Bread and Indian Taco's to be exact and I found one!!!!! Well actually I found several but after many failed recipes this is the only one that was even close to the taste of a traditional Indian Taco. So here for your midwestern taste buds I give you Chef Dee's Indian Taco recipe!!
