For a richer flavor, consider using freshly cooked pinto beans instead of canned. Feel free to experiment with different taco toppings such as diced onions, sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite salsa. The fry bread can be made ahead of time and reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal frying. Too low, and the bread will be greasy; too high, and it will burn quickly. For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the fry bread dough.

Apr 27, 2024Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the bread; otherwise, they won't get crispy enough.
