Скачать или смотреть NAVAJO TACOS on FRY BREAD | Cooking Our Road Trip Find in Arizona

Have you ever had one food on your list, and every stop is either too early, too late, or not open?That was us in northern Arizona. We were trying to get Navajo tacos on fry bread, and we kept striking out.

Then a woman named Cathy at a roadside trailer said:
“Yeah. I can make it.”

In this episode, I’m cooking our road trip find at home: puffy fry bread that’s light and not greasy, silky beans (sold as “Anasazi” beans here in the Southwest), and the classic toppings that made it feel so right.

We visited Antelope Canyon earlier that day on Navajo Nation land, and our Navajo guide spoke about the land being spiritual and carrying responsibility. It sat in my mind long after we left. It also nudged me to learn more about the history connected to this dish. I’m sharing as a learner, not an authority. If I missed something, I’m open to learning.
