Easy and delicious Navajo tacos recipe -easy to make and delicious!

Hope everyone is having a great day! I made these Navajo tacos a few weeks ago and they were so good! My mom always made them for us growing up and I’ve been wanting to make them ever since. I’ve partnered with McCormick for this recipe and love how they turned out. They bring back such fun memories from my childhood days.

These were super easy to make and my whole family loved them. You could even use tostada shells or tortillas if you don’t want to make the fry bread. And if you’re being healthy, just make it a taco salad. ;)

Here’s a little step-by-step tutorial for the fry bread, because I know you all love pictures. :)

Easy Fry bread

In a small pan add oil and bring to a boil over medium heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the oil to see if it’s hot. If it pops, it’s ready.
Pull apart dough and flatten (about 1/4 inch thick). Place dough in oil and cook each side for about 30 seconds, or until brown. Remove with tongs and place on a plate layered with paper towels.

Enjoy with your favorite toppings! YUM!

What are you making for Cinco De Mayo? I’m making stuffed bell peppers tonight. :D
