After enjoying "Navajo tacos" in a restaurant in Window Rock, Arizona, I went home and came up with this recipe. Our daughter's school roommate, a Navajo Indian, helped my improve the fry bread. I've served this often-both at home and on the ranch where I work-and everyone loves it!—Thelma Tyler, Dragoon, Arizona

[email protected]These fry bread tacos were a bit too greasy for my taste. The fry bread was also a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]These fry bread tacos were a hit at my party! The fry bread was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the taco filling was flavorful and juicy. I especially loved the addition of the green chili sauce, which gave the tacos a nice kick.
