Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour more as needed
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • cup oil for cooking more to deep fry

Toppings:

  • 4 cups chili 2 cans or homemade
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • ¾ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 6 Tbsp sour cream
  • 2.25 oz can sliced olives
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and add enough flour to make a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured counter just until smooth. Cover and let rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-7" circle on the floured counter.
  • In a medium sized skillet, heat about half of the oil over medium heat till it's about 350°. Cook each piece of dough for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned. Add more oil to the pan as needed. (Alternately, you can use 2-3 cups of oil and deep fry the navajo bread.)
  • Place fried bread on paper towels to drain. You can then place them on a plate in a warm oven if desired.
  • Top each piece of fry bread with chili or taco meat, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, and any other toppings you want.
