Southwestern Cooking: Navajo Tacos (Indian Tacos)
published by Arri London PhD on Mar 19, 2009
Navajo tacos are easy and economical main courses, popular in the Southwest.
Ingredients per Taco
Amounts are approximate.
- 1 piece freshly prepared Navajo frybread
- 1/4 c seasoned ground pork, beef or lamb (use taco seasonings)
- 1/4 c cooked pinto beans (canned are fine, drain and rinse first)
- shredded lettuce to cover
- sliced or diced tomatoes to cover
- shredded jack or colby cheese to cover
- optional: guacamole, red or green chile sauce
To make a vegetarian version, leave off the meat.
Method
Layer the ingredients on a large plate, in the order given, frybread as the base. Provide a knife and fork and napkins; this isn’t finger food!
Enjoy!
