I adore Navajo Tacos! Ironically, they are a post colonial invention that was the result of the US forcing the Navajo into concentration camps and issuing them rations of flour, sugar, and lard. The Navajo people invented fry bread with their limited ingredients, which became the base for many other foods later on.
Weird. I was graciously fed that when I was filming a powwow in Indiana for the local news and they just called them “Indian Tacos.” I wonder why they didn’t give the Navajo credit?
If y’all get a chance, try Navajo Tacos.
