Navajo Fry Bread

Ingredients 
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 
1 tablespoon baking powder 
2 teaspoons salt 
Oil 
3 cups warm water 
Oil for frying 
Directions 
  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add the warm water a little at a time, mixing with your fingers until the dough forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.  
  2. Add more flour or water as needed to form a dough that is not too sticky.  Lightly drizzle about 1 tablespoon of oil over the dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes.  Use this rest time to make your bean and meat topping. 
  3. ​​Once the dough has rested, pour it onto a floured surface and bring it together into a ball. 
  4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat with about ½ cup of oil. Heat to 365-375℉. 
  5. Break dough into 12 - 14  equal pieces and roll into a ball.  Roll out each piece onto the floured surface, and flatten it into a disc about 5-6 inched.  **You can also use your hands to pull the dough out into a disc. 
  6. Drop each disc into the hot oil and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until each side is golden brown.
  7.  Remove from the oil and drain on a tray or plate lined with a paper towel-lined. 


Bean topping 

Ingredients
1  ½ cups cooked pinto bean 
6 ounces of water 
½ small onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 to 2 teaspoons salt
1  teaspoon paprika 
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 small green chiles, chopped 
1 tablespoon oil 

Directions 

  1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes. Add beans, water, and the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat.  

Bison topping 

Ingredients 
1 ¼ pounds of Ground bison 
½ small onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon Salt 
¼ teaspoon black pepper 
2 teaspoons paprika 
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2  cup chopped tomatoes 
1 to 2 tablespoons water 

Directions 

  1. Add ground bison to a skillet on medium heat.  Once the meat starts to brown and crumble, add onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes until the onion is soft. 
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. To serve, assemble your topping onto your fry bread.  Add ground bison and pink beans, then top with your topping choices, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, green chilies, avocado, and sour cream.
