Indian Tacos...easy and fun!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon plus 6 cups vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 
  

Directions

Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil and the water, and stir until smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until the dough is just elastic and comes together, being careful not to over work. Shape the dough into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (I skip this step and it comes out just fine)

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and roll into a 7-inch circle, making as thin as possible. Poke a hole in the center with the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger.

In a large saute pan or deep fryer, heat the 6 cups of oil to 360 degrees F. Slip the rounds 1 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, turning once with a long-handled spoon or tongs. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining dough.

Load up each fry bread with your favorite tostada toppings... we use ground turkey, refried black beans, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. We put all the toppings on the kitchen table and we made them together as a family...the kids each made their own and loved it!
