FRY BREAD & Navajo TACOS | HARD TIMES -- recipes from times of food scarcity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- It's said that fry bread was invented in the 1860s by the Navajo when the were forced to relocate by the United States government and given rations of flour, sugar, salt and lard. I had my first frybread taco when I lived in Montana, and today I'm recreating it so I can have it in Rhode Island, too. New videos every Thursday and Saturday!

I am Navajo. I have been making frybread since I was 9 years old and Navajos tacos ever since then as well. You did a very good job with everything. Normally we do use pinto beans that has been boiled in a slow cooker but canned beans such as kidney beans are just as good. I do make my beans mixed with ground beef like a chili con carne. I enjoyed your presentation though. It is best to let your dough rest for 30 minutes or more and your dough will be very nice and soft and easy to pat out.
Thank you. I've lived in AZ and NM. OMG. The fry bread and the Hatch chili is something to live for. Love it. And I'm caucasian. Lol lol lol lol. Both are a must. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖💖💜💜🎼🎵🎶🙈🙉🙊😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😻🧡💛💚💗💜❤💕💋
Love love love those tacos they make fry bread up here in Alaska too.
I was in Shiprock NM the 1st time I had Mutton and Fry Bread, So good! Too bad mutton is nearly unheard of once your drive north even 50 miles 😒
I totally forgot about that. That was my favorite part!
I sure hope that your children are full blood not half breeds because there isn't that many of us left
I'm indigenous Navajo.....and I'm empressed.
I don't put sugar as part of ingredients...i use powdered milk, baking powder, flour, and salt.
Great job lil one.
Niizhooni!!!! means beautiful!
Purple Orchid I’m an empress too 👸🏻
That’s how we do it in Oklahoma too...
Do you have an actual recipe ? I would like to try yours with powdered milk. We mostly go by eyeballing ingredients, but yours with the milk sounds good. I would appreciate it. Thank you. 😉 😋
aho oh
@@coppercassiecampbell6077 Add 1 tablespoon of powdered milk to the recipe in the video. I prefer the better taste of whole powdered milk to the fat free or low fat stuff, but use what you got. You can always add more if you prefer. Experiment with recipes and make it your own.
When I make a big batch of frybread for a gathering (5lbs of flour), I prefer making it with yeast instead of baking powder. You can handle it more without worrying about it getting tough.
My boyfriend is Native American and talks about growing up eating frybread all the time. His birthday is next week and you've inspired me to try and make him some!
FLCL how it weeeent?
Have a sister, under 5' 6 IAM native American.
FLCL not enough cheese.
@@adammoore7059 wtf lmao
That's so sweet!!!
I'm Choctaw and my great aunt makes THE BEST frybread I've ever tasted!!! Also seeing you appreciate the history behind frybread almost made me cry ❤
I love that you didn't flinch from the history lesson as you were making this. Our country's treatment of Native Peoples has been horrible, and still is to this day. Cultures that should be shared and celebrated have been forced into the margins.
💫💫💫
Definately. We dont like to think about how America murdered and did horrile things to Native Americans. We celebrate Colombus and what he did was horrible and we pretend Thanksgiving makes up for everything they faced and are still facing today
First of all, I am Native American and we don’t even bitch and moan the way white people do about our history. I grew up around many tribes and these people are not suffering if they do not want to be. The government provides them with tax-free money every month, trailers and subsidized housing that’s nicer than our veterans are provided, trucks and are allowed to live tax free in this country. I don’t know where this idea of Natives being oppressed comes from but, the only Natives that I know who are suffering are suffering at the hands of their own entitlement and laziness. Many of my people use their government money to be lazy and alcoholic. A lot of the natives that I know who live on the reservation spend their days drinking beer and doing nothing at all. Stop this bullshit oppression story that you want to create for your own white guilt. It’s simply not true.
First of all, I've seen it first hand. When I was a small child, my father married a Native American woman whose mother moved to a reservation after she got out of jail for murdering her white husband (not my stepmother's father) who was beating and abusing her.
The houses weren't nicer than anything. They were falling apart, run down, and there were no economic prospects for these people. They didn't get subsidized housing, they weren't getting tax free money.
They were forced off their land, forced to assimilate and treated like shit, and they still are today.
You wanna call yourself Native American? I can't stop you. But I can also point out that even a cursory inspection of the way Natives are treated in this country proves that you're either horribly uneducated about what's going on with 'your' people, or, far more likely, you're some white Republican dude who gets his jollies pretending to be a Native woman online to stir up controversy.
Oh. And to hell with your white guilt, too. I'm Romani and Jewish, two other groups that have been traditionally pushed down by various governments and oppressed. So kiss my fat Roma ass.
Sophy_satx I’m also Native American. Born and raised on a reservation. You do not speak for all of us! My family has never had free housing, free money or free vehicles! And we certainly are not alcoholics who do nothing all day. We have jobs and work hard for our money. The way you’re talking I’m not even sure if you are native, talking that way about your own people.
As a Native American, I approve of this video. I'm pretty sure every tribe has a version of fry bread. My tribe which is a northwest tribe (Nez Perce) makes their fry bread with yeast. It turns out similar to a doughnut. I'm told many of the northern tribes use yeast.
Thank you, thank you.
i'm nimiipuu too, and none of my family likes yeast dough.
i guess it all depends of personal preference these days.
i don't like the sweetness to it. we opt for just baking powder and salt.
I've had both kinds, love them both.
alyane yay ! Another Nimiipuu! I don't live up north so whenever I mention my tribe I tend to get the response "huh. Never heard of it" In regards to fry bread I've had them both ways and enjoy them both ways but I actually do eat the baking powder version more than the yeast dough version.
Came here to mention this. My grandparents taught me to make it with yeast and a little sugar and now I make it for my babies!
Awwwwh Emmy! The fact you even acknowledge it being called Navajo tacos and Indian Tacos is so awesome! I'm Navajo and feel so special you wanted to try Navajo tacos 💖
Now imma be flipping my fry bread with chopsticks 😂
Navajo tacos look amazing ! ❤
Seeing this brought tears to my eyes. It's been years since I've had my mom's Indian tacos. Let alone her fry bread. thanks for this! Hey another meal my mom made when we fell on hard times was what we called fideo or sopa. She used tomato sauce and either shell noodles or fideo noodles (you can find the noodles types in the Mexican food aisle). My mom always fried the noodles in oil until golden brown then added the can of tomato sauce plus water and salt (or chicken bouillon) bring to a boil and that's that! Best soup ever.
I used to have that as a child too. I need to make this for myself now as an adult.
Shout out from a Navajo (Diné)!
Also, thank you for objectively addressing the origins of this food. As most non-Natives (and even some Natives) unfortunately don't understand the complex history of this treat.
China also have two versions of frybread - youbing and youtiao, I'm surprised how similar Navajo frybread is to youbing!
I have always eaten them but had no clue what the history was behind them!
I had wondered why this wheat bread was a go to for people who would not have been able to grow wheat traditionally. I should have known it was originally forced on them. Good for them for finding a way to make good food out of it.
I hope that if you have children that they are full blood Navajo ... because there are not to many of us left
@@adammoore7059
Perhaps because to many focus on "purity" and fail to see that the weakest sticks are the ones purified by drifting in the river.
And it does not seem to matter what kind of tree it is.
Diné (Navajo) here and I'm happy you're making this meal!! Thank you for this!! Normally don't add butter to frybread because of the oil you fried the dough in so for toppings just honey, salt, or powdered sugar. Also if your frybread is burning when you fry it you might have a little bit too much flour on it or your oil is too hot. Also we usually make the beans ahead of time in a slow cooker so when we get back from work it's ready to eat all we have to do is make the fry bread and slice the toppings.
DeLorian Smith thanks for mentioning the thing about the beans. I've always had it with beans and meat that are more like chilli. So very very yummy. I grew up in Utah and spent a lot of time all over the western States abs I've never seen it done quite the way Emmy does it here but it still looks amazing!
DeLorian Smith I love fry bread. I've been trying to learn how to make it.
TheFraggler she makes it "accurately" but like she says in the video we use the feeling of the dough.
Leech Lake Ojibwe here! I know many people who eat frybread with just butter/margarin. The favorite way all around is obviously the tacos but in a pinch just butter is the way to go.
Yá át tééh, I was gonna mention this too about the beans and stuff, but wanted to see if anyone else mentioned it. But I'm still to this day trying to perfect my bread skills. Dry bread especially. Also about the butter on the fry bread. Lol she make me want to make some just to eat. Had my parents send me some blue bird.
I love you incorporating the chopsticks, which are such a normal kitchen tool for you, into making recipes from around the world. It reminds me that we bring a little bit of ourselves to every food we make ♥️
when I lived in Honolulu, made some frybread, and made the taco with kahlua pork...damn good!!...and experimented with making a grilled mahi mahi sammich...really good...
I'm Navajo & I really appreciate you trying 😄 you did amazing!
Thank you, so happy to get the stamp of approval. 😊
lalameows87 question: is frybread a special occasion kind of food?
robert gordon I would say any occasion is appropriate 😊
emmymadeinjapan you can also make tortillas with the dough, just no hot oil. I usually use a cast iron pan for both to keep it hot.
robert gordon No, it can be eaten day to day apparently.
Seeing this always makes me think of summers on the rez. But we used smashed beans so the meat sticks and it doesn’t fall on the floor
Makes sense and also sounds soooo good 😍
Yes! And the beans go first. The lettuce first was liking me. Lol. But now I'm dying for a flat bread taco.
Summers on the res always meant chokecherry picking and jelly making. It always involved a bit of poisen ivy, itching and celebrations just being happy to be alive. It was fry bread eating dripping with butter or covered in powered sugar. It was sitting around a campfire at night and telling our grandfather's stories. It was days of laughter, nights of sweet dreams. It was weeks of running free, not having to be afraid of anyone or anything. It was pure bliss, happiness, flavors, new sensations, maybe even a first love.
Then the weather turned . Nights were chilly and we had to step back into the real world. But I will always remember rez summers.
@@coppercassiecampbell6077 you should genuinely be an author, that was beautiful
We use a meat sauce, almost like a Chili here in Ontario, Canada.
Absolutely love this series. My grandmother was in the Trail Tears. She was Cherokee. I was a change of life baby and all my relatives were seriously older when I was born. She made fry bread. I didnt know her long but she was amazing. Great cook.
These were at every powwow when I was growing up. My grandma was not supposed to eat frybread near the end of her life because of how bad for you it is, so she'd secretly give us money to buy it for her. I didn't realize this was a Navajo thing! My tribe, Anishinaabe, make this too, which is interesting because we're all the way up in Minnesota/Wisconsin. Our frybread tacos run a little more "midwestern" (u know, black olives and canned diced tomatoes). I wonder if we took this idea from other tribes, or if it was simultaneously invented? I figure there's not much you can do with the rations we were given. It's interesting to think about. Man, I haven't had frybread for so long. God I'm so hungry now.
It's a bit mean to restrict diet at the end of ones life, what damage are you going to do? Let them enjoy their culture, family etc with a good meal
It's not just a southwest thing. We were given rations of flour and lard, so pretty much every tribe has frybread because there's only so much you can do with flour and lard.
I'm Ojibway(Anishnaebae) too from but from Ontario, Canada. Ours is a little different, we use chilly as the topping, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. And our frybread is more thick and dense.
@@xxTheCatsMeow
We slit the bread and put the toppings in middle, no olives, sour cream or beans..
I imagine some Sioux use all tho, it's a personal preference I imagine lol
@@xxTheCatsMeow I have had these at Canadore college a number of years ago and they were absolutely amazing. I felt very grateful that I was able to try these delicious treats.
*This is such a genius idea for a series!* The history behind all the vintage dishes you've done is fascinating to me, and it's also nice to see some vintage stuff that doesn't involve Jello for once.... 😂
......aloe vera 😉
Lindsay Daly Too much JELLO !!
The retro desserts of the 50's , 60's & 70's but especially the 60's & 70's used a great deal of jello and mayonnaise... I remember a great many of them as my mom had the same Jell-0 recipe book Emmy uses. Boy not a Sunday passed without some new, weird variation on our dinner table! Great memories for sure but I'm glad that time has come and gone lol.
Kathleen Moritz thank you for sharing your story. That was faszinating to hear ☺
I really don't think this is a vintage recipe being this has been used for years and is still used.
Kemarie Bug
Yeah, I was confused by the wording of this comment. All things considered though, we Natives have made the best of what we were given for a very long time, and the recipe goes all the way back to the treatment of Native Americans in this country. We really aren't too far removed from the sad & murderous history of this nation's founding. Be it mass genocide or slavery.
Real Navajo living on the rez.... I love this video! Thanks for sharing your feedback... You are so welcome to come to the rez and get some good foods. Navajo Nation represent!
Please I hope that your children if you have any are full blood Navajo...there are not that many of us left please marry a native American and have full native American children and tell them to do the same
@@adammoore7059 to true . The Coushatta Indians in Louisiana were a beautiful pure clan until the casino and all of a sudden the white boys were interested in the Coushatta girls ,where it was very unheard of until that damn money pit. Now the clan is no longer 300 it has exploded and now the indigenous babies that are half half are having to devide the income into white fathers hands in the name of there children and controlling those same women . White bones think oh what's wrong with it so I feel for an Indian woman and made child but soon left and found reasons to fight and win custody. So this clans checks from the casino have become small instead of big as in beginning because large portion are going to these children of misguided father's grabbing a bag through blood . People will say racist but I say how more racist can one be than to make a child because of checks .
@@adammoore7059 I am stating all of this respectfully. I am from a full blooded Cherokee great-grandmother she was blue eyed indian in the early 1900 as her mother was raped and my grandmother was born . I came into this world and found out why I have white looks with indian bone structure and one of us in every generation ate the reminder of this . This hurts my heart still 3 generation after .
@@My5ajz4life lol everyone always claims to be "Cherokee" or "Blackfoot" if you know what I mean than you know. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I love how Emmy makes gestures like “lemme finish this bite before I talk” and then takes another bite 😂
I’m guilty of that so often
I make Navajos tacos a lot. Instead of the cold burger and beans, I use homemade hot chili, then all the tomatoes, lettuce, onions and cheese. When forming the tacos, use oil on your fingers instead of flour. To form the tacos, once you have it flattened a bit, begin by twirling the taco through your fingers and grabbing by the edges. This will stretch it to circles. A new drain rack for dishes works well for standing the tacos on their side with a layer of paper towel underneath in order for the tacos to drain.
You have my respect for dedicating a video to Native Americans. I'm Navajo and I love when people call Indians their actual name, Native Americans. You did a good job for a first time! 😊 Looks delicious, inspired me to want to go make some.
Gabrielle Platero huh? I heard from someone that calling them Native American is offensive and they prefer indian. Please make up your mind.
@@sozuruQ2 bro your saying please make up your mind like there's a conference where they decide what they wanna be called. Its personal preference and probably different regionally.
I think if more people realized that the term Indian is short for indigenous then it wouldn't be thought of as racist. Most people assume the term Indian comes from the fact that Europeans were trying to get to India.
@@nicolesaylor4027 Indian is not short for Indigenous
@@Chris-ib5ht it actually does.
Thank you for actually putting Navajo tacos. I live in the four corners area and they are a main dish everywhere and we adore the cultural collision between our cultures. Our clans are harmonious.
Im Navajo (Diné)
I remember when I was in my early teens me and my grandma used to make Navajo tacos before my grandpa came home... I still make them to this day, Ahyééhéé (thank you)
Omg Emmy I love this video 💖
I never thought you would make this from a Navajo recipe.
I’m Navajo and it’s such an honor to watch you make it, also I’m Native American ☺️💖
I made fry bread all the time when I lived alone in Japan. Fry bread with Japanese curry saved my life.
What a perfect combination. 🤩
How interesting
Just about any food is better with fry bread!
Bear Yggers i want a recipe
Blackfoot here and I must say I am so proud that you filmed this. You are so inclusive with your channel. Keep up the great work! P.S. I just made a batch of fry bread yesterday ☺😊🤗💁♀️
@NaturallyNik do you have family in Birmingham Alabama we maybe related.
NaturallyNik I love this bread I’m from Arizona and I miss this bread deeply because it’s not out here in Texas
i am hispanic but my mother was married to an indian man way back when and picked this recipe up from him. it’s absolutely delicious. she’s the best at making it, i’m certain. i never realized it was a hard times recipe! we just eat it whenever we feel like it haha! another amazing video i love you emmy!
My Grandpa Mom. my aunts and their kids my brother and I are part of the Oneida Tribe, (Turtle Clan) and My mom makes her own Frybread and its always a house favorite, she always made tons because we would fight over it soo much. I love it so much and I love that you made this recipe Emmy.
I'm half Onondaga. Is your family from NY or Canada? I've got ALOT of Oneida cousins, Homer Family.
I'm Navajo, thanks so much for trying. I think you were successful! I do appreciate how u included the history of how it became a staple in our tradition!!
I am Mi’kmaq (First Nation tribe of eastern Canada) .. all tribes make fry bread from
Mexico to Canada and Alaska :)
Shiloh Julia And apparently, something similar is made in Panama, Mexico and Pakistan too! My favorite part of this comment section has been how many people can remember their grandmother making that.
Aye homie! I’m also mi’kmaq! I go under my dads band tho of Nisga’a
Damn straight! Everyone seems to forget the tribes in Mexico (as well as Central and South America) and Canada. My mother is mostly native as a lot of Latinos are. It’s always a breath of fresh air when people mention us lol
My husband is Sioux native and grew up on a rez in South Dakota! The first time I went to visit him i had Indian tacos and fry bread with jam. I’ve have been obsessed ever since! I just made him a batch tonight for tacos since he’s been out in the field (military) all day, just as a little pick me up (:
Love that you make videos from all different countries and cultures! ❤️
EMMY!! I'm Navajo, from the Navajo Rez of course, and I am so so happy you made this! You did it right in not measuring the dough ingredients. My family doesn't add sour cream or anything other than tomatoes, lettuce, and cheddar cheese. PINTO beans are absolutely amazing in them, too, and are a must. Ty for making this!
A past friend of mine is mixed with native american and Mexican. I remember her mom would make the BEST fry bread tacos. She'd even make special vegetarian ones for me. Funny how something so simple can be so special, and taste so good!
also I love that you labeled your little aloe plant. So cute ~
I'm Native & Mexican, my husband calls me an Indian Taco
Yep, often the simplest is the best!
Omg Navajo tacos! You are so sweet! That's my favorite when I go home (Navajo Reservation)
My tribe makes frybread a little different! But I’m glad you talked about the history a little! Thanks for the video
thank you for including the origin story of the frybread! also, frybread is mostly a pan-indigenous thing. the grand majority of tribes make it ☺
I live in Arizona and you can find these everywhere. I really like them especially w/ beans or with powdered sugar and honey. Yum. Thanks Emmy.
I grew up in Arizona too and loved eating fry bread whenever it was available, both sweet and savory!
In Hungary this fried bread is called Lángos, served with sour cream, ham and grated cheese, or plain, just rubbed with garlic. Yuuuummmmmmmm! 😋
I’ve only had frybread once. My cousin’s brother-in-law is Native, and his wife made frybread tacos when we were over visiting one day. They were so freaking delicious. They haunt my dreams. I wish I could eat them every week. Lol.
Diné here as well! I love this Emmy! Usually don’t use sugar in the dough just salt, baking powder and flour w powder milk. Usually use a pressure cooker for a quick way to make the beans. Great job Emmy! Nice and golden! ❤️❤️
As an Apache I approve of this recipe this shit is magic
What kind of Apache are you? I'm Mescalero Apache from NM
CupOfMagicalTea yes it is I love it I’m from Arizona and I used to get this all the time!!! I’m getting some next time I go home seriously! 💯
I'm all for it. Thank you all for sharing.

Danielle Evans I’m white mountain Apache😄
I just watched your video on Navajo taco.
Like you said they are different from each rez.
I'm from the Navajo rez.
I would like to give you a couple of hints for a better taco.
1- no sugar in the dough
2-it is better to let the dough rest in the bowl if it is a small amount, covered with plastic for 30-60 mins (better dough)
3-divide your dough into equal portions no matter how much dough you make roll into a smooth ball dip in flour and rest on a platter covered in plastic
4-use a rolling pin so much easier, roll only from the center out up then down and lift dough and turn a quarter turn to keep dough even and to the right size to fit your front pan. Never roll side ways it will effect your dough.
5-home cooked beans are much preferred for tacos. Pick and sort thru dry beans of your choice and rinse till water runs clear. Add to pot with water level is almost 3/4 full of pot with a good fitting lid. Add chopped onion, chili, garlic, ham hocks, bacon grease, or tiny little bits of bacon all of your choice.
Cover with a lid and cook till beans are tender. 2-3 hrs. You can also soak clean beans over night and cook your beans in a crock pot all day or while you are out.
6-rolling/patting out dough balls, flour your finger and starting in the center use your Thumbs on the bottom and your four fingers on top, start squeezing dough to thin it out, all the while using your other hand to turn dough like a steering wheel, continue until you get the same thickness all around, no flapping needed.
7- Layer in this order,
Large plate, Fry bread (whole or torn into bite size chunks) your choice, fresh cooked beans and been juice, salt to your tase, meat flavored w/packet of taco seasoning mix, lettuce, tomato, cheese, chili salsa your choice. Sour cream and quac also your choice.
8-taco is to be eaten using a fork and knife, not folded and picked up like a taco, way to messy.
Hope this helps a little next time you make Navajo tacos 😉
What kind of oil do you use to fry the dough?
Great comments/help. I love that.
Any oil of your choice
I swear right now if i could id make 5 of them and slam them... im gonna have tobmake this soon and blow my boyfriends mind. Mom and i had them at the powwow in mt. Pleasent oooh were they good..... we love mexican food, but frybread tacos are our weakness.
Sounds amazing!!
I never realized that this was a hard times recipe! I love Indian Tacos sooo much. They were a treat for us as kids. Not gonna lie I use frozen dinner roll dough to make it quick and easy!
Thank you for acknowledging my brothers and sisters from the Navajo. I’m Cherokee, but we also have a form of fry bread. We love to eat it plain. Thank you for this ✊🏼✌🏼
And if you are native american everyone's grandma made the best ever.
Right?! Grandma's is ALWAYS better.💕
I hate to admit but my EX made better than my Grandma's ;-)
Idk my brother actually makes the best fry bread... don't tell my grandma I said that though 😂😂😂
I am a Plains Cree from Big River First Nations located in Treaty 6 territory here in Canada. Nokom (my Grandma) makes some of the best Bannock (fried bread).
I have tried American fry bread but much prefer the Canadian Bannock. I like it when you cook it over a fire wrapped around a stick.
I used to go to pow wows with my godfather and they used to sell fry bread with strawberry shortcake verison with powder sugar strawberries whipped cream and another savory corn and cheese verison omg so good
Man, oh man. That sounds so stinkin’ good. 👅
That sounds delicious
YES!!! fry bread strawberry shortcake is a powwow staple. it's like strawberries in bright pink syrup and whip "cream" from the canister and powdered sugar... nothing better omg 😭now i need my family recipe so i can make some
FryBread short cake is the best!!
I’m Chippewa & Sioux (from Duluth MN), I love that your making Indian tacos!! I never tried it with beans tho lol
girlfriend you did it great. it does take practice and keep doing it..love from navajo nation
We make these every time a certain friend of ours from Oklahoma comes to visit. We eat ours with a knife and fork because we cook our own beans and let the fry bread soak up the juices and it's so messy. We make a ton so we always have fry bread leftover. It is delicious heated in the oven the next morning. We use any leftover meat and beans and make breakfast fry breads with scrambled eggs. It's so good!
Yes, a knife and fork's the way to go.🍴Mmm...breakfast fry bread.
Now you're just making me hungry!
Native from the Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. It's awesome to see videos like this. Throw some red or green chile on there and its heaven!! Keep up the great work!!
Love Navajo tacos. To my understanding the Navajo prefer to use Blue Bird brand flour out of Cortez Colorado.
Timothy Hays this is true lol
Yes this is true
Yep! Blue Bird flour is definitely preferred! I love fry bread and Navajo Tacos! :)
This reminds me of a Mexican tostada except it's with fried bread instead of fried corn tortilla. It's interesting to see how various cultures will have different variations of just one dish. Love this series! ♥️
This feels so refreshing seeing a non-native person making Navajo tacos who isn’t pretending to know what they are doing. Also thank you so much for using your hands to mix the dough 😀 I know different tribes have different recipes, even within the Diné community there are different variations, but the addition of sugar is completely new to me. I was nervous to watch this because other videos about frybread are so cringy. Thank you from the bottom of my Diné(Navajo) heart for this video! 🤩
Aloe Vera
I would've stuffed the other side with the dent to fill it, that way it wouldn't fall out as bad. My family made these all the time when I was growing up. You're right of the measurements, it's all by feel. Really enjoying these vids!
I am Navajo. I enjoy your videos on making Navajo tacos I appreciate all you have done to create this dish you should try to make dumpling stew that is a good dish thank you again
The version of Navajo tacos I've had before used a yeast dough, and the filling was basically a stew made with mutton, tomatoes and chipotle chiles. That was really something.
I love that you used chop sticks to manipulate and flip the breads, fusion cooking?
I noticed that too and chuckled.
Im native and growing up around my family they all called is Bannock. It wasn't until i moved to the US that everyone i talked to called is Fry bread.
Eating it with chili is great. Same with peanut butter.
We have bannock bread in this area too, but it's not the same as frybread. It's baked in a flat cake pan and tastes kind of like a giant, dry biscuit - but perfect for absorbing the broth out of a good stew! Where did you grow up?
I'm from Canada and we call it Bannock.
How about with Almond or Seasame Seed Butter?
Monican Lamppost coming from First Nation Dene, Bannock has no yeast in it and fry bread usually has yeast in it. Plus when bannock is been baked, oil or lard is mixed into the dry ingredients but when frying bannock no oil or lard is added to dry ingredients....
Zuni Native and you did well, Emmy!! Loved how you manhandled the taco and made it happen, I’ve always used fork and knife and now see the error of my ways hahaha keep up the great work!!
Absolute great job adding the history and the making of this treat. Your sweetness adds to this whole video. Thank you
Fry bread is delicious and easy to make. Fry bread mix is sold in grocery stores here in Oklahoma. Red Corn Authentic Native American Fry Bread Mix is the best! Thanks Emmy for sharing this!💚✌
that girl in okc that's good to know. I'm just north of you in Wichita, but my grandpa is in OKC. Maybe he can ship me some!
Wow, they didn't have that when I lived there. That was decades ago. It's so easy to make from scratch, though, you don't need a mix.
jbeargrr exactly the point of this series! Super basic but so delicious.
that girl in okc I live in mcalester lol
Summer Dawn cool! Howdy neighbor! You probably had some great Indian Tacos too!
Mmm I looove when my gram and mom make frybread. Paiute here...proud Native. So awesome to see you make this recipe. I love having a warm piece of frybread with honey or jam for breakfast.
Oktober Rayne, you have no idea how blessed you are .💜💚💛😻❤💙💖💖💕💞❣😇😇🙈🙉🙊 much love and light.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have done a wonderful job!! Thank you so much! I am Native American from the Montaukett Tribe of Long Island NY. We are proud of you!
I’m Navajo. My mom cooks a big pot of pinto, red, and black beans with tomatoes, ground meat, and some red chili. Then when making the frybread she makes them as big as a plate (she says hot water makes it easier to knead with your fists so its not lumpy. She also says your supposed to be happy and not mad when making bread because it might be hard instead of soft and crispy). Then scoops the beans with the juices onto the frybread and cheese on top (the cheese melts) . Then adds the lettuce, onions, and more chili (picate sauce is good). We eat it with a fork and knife because the bean juices make it easier to cut the frybread. If you want a true rez experience have it with a shasta cola. 👍🏾 Great job!
Emmy thank you for acknowledging my clan it makes me proud to know that someone knows about my clan and especially some one i have been watching theyoutube channel ahhehe which means thank you
we do this kind of bread in Italy too! it's exactly how Emmy described it, crunchy on the outside and chewey on the inside. delicious! it's incredible how similar recipes develop in different countries :)
As a native American during the summer and fall I live for this meal! We go to powwows and they make the best fry bread. The one vendor is an award winning for her bread and we'll buy several fry breads to bring home and reheat its so good! Try it with cinnamon and sugar too. Its so beautiful. I'm Cherokee but like you said fry bread has been contributed into a lot of tribes. Our powwows we have so many different tribes that come out and act as one big family. Its absolutely amazing! I gotta say though, you forgot the salsa and jalapeños. It makes it messy but so much better!
I'm Argentinian. We cook something very similar (and tasty) called "tortas fritas". It's pretty much the same thing, except that they're eaten without toppings, and made using beef fat, butter or oil for the dough. Some people have it with sugar, but most prefer it as is. The flavor goes so well with mate (again without sugar), specially during a rainy afternoon. While it is not necessarily associated with any time of hardship, I've heard many poor families cook tortas fritas for their children when they can't afford to eat more than a single meal during the day, since the tortas fritas are cheap and caloric.
Fantastic for your first time. It gets easier the more you make it. My grandma used powder milk in her recipe. Have a nice day and glad to see Diné food on RUclips.
OsakaRose Sakura why the shouting? 😂
OsakaRose Sakura my grandmother didn't use measuring cups or spoons. She just "knew how much to use" its pretty much like that with a lot of sani's who make frybread all the time. But she did put it in dry. I would say 3 cups flour and 1/2 cup dry. Not sure though. Sorry
Me too!
Growing up a Plains Cree Indian in southern Saskatchewan we ate frybread all the time. You can find people selling frybread and Indian tacos at the gas station or around your neighborhood lol
I love Navajo tacos!! Grew up eating these. Now I make them occasionally for my children.
The fry bread is also good with just homemade honey butter! 😁
I’m Navajo. I make fry bread a lot.. I’m really impressed on how well you made fry bread for the first time.. you did very well.. love it.. keep up the great videos.. ❤️❤️
My moms fry bread is the best, then again everyone thinks their moms fry bread is hands down better than everyone’s. Also I don’t know anyone that measures the ingredients. All by eye and the feel.
I’m also going to make fry bread now. So thanks for forcing a craving 😂😂😂
I agree, my moms is the best but mine is better! Jokes
You’re right 😂😂
my mom's is also the best
I love my mom’s too! 😂😂😂
It's not a Navajo taco unless it has Green Chile! Although what you made looked pretty delicious as well.
And keep one to cover with honey and powdered sugar for desert.
Krieghandt Wrong. I've always said Navajo Tacos and never once ate it with green Chile
@@makennasakiestewa8575
Well we do now, can't fault us for excellent taste and loving the heat.
Green Chile on everything!
My stepmom is black, white, and Native America, and she always makes frybread for the holidays. It is one of my favorite things that she makes. My dad always says that he wants to put jam on it and she always gives him this look of don't do that or I'll hurt you. But they always laugh about it. I met my stepmom when I was about 13, (I am now 20) and she has taught me so much about the things that she had gone though in her life. She is truly an amazing and inspirational woman and I aspire to be someone like her. 💕
8:17 made me laugh for the first time in 3 weeks. Thanks Emmy x
I used to live on the Navajo Reservation and miss eating fresh (must be) fry bread. Blue Bird flour seemed to be the favorite for making it. It is a higher gluten and higher protein flour. I used to add gluten to some of my breads--rye, especially. Lard was also very popular for the frying of the bread. There seemed to be a 50/50 split as to powdered milk should be added to the dough. I also lived in MT for a while--where did you live?
I live in Indianapolis Indiana, Blue bird brand flour, A must "use" ingredient, it'll be so delicious.
So would kneading and developing gluten be a good thing then? Emmy said to not knead it or it would be tough?
@@ItsKiraLyn I've watched fry bread being made numerous time. I've only seen a rather brief initial kneading followed by resting covered with a cloth.
Emmy you did an amazing job for your first time making frybread and they look like they turned out pretty good. Now I want some frybread and stew! Next time try making a Rez burger it's like a regular cheeseburger but you use bun size frybead for the bun or a Rezdog it's like a corndog but the hot dog is wrapped with frybread dough then deep fried.
Omg that sounds amazing
tyrill knight hangover soup works better with fry bread or fried Moose with onions
I love how she culturally educated herself so much! One of the first things I was taught to make as a child was fry bread! It’s the best! We used what we had and made something so beautiful from it! %100 Native here! Indigenous pride! ✊🏽
I had Indian taco's for the first time when I moved here to Oklahoma two yrs ago. I love them, and you can find them every where out here.
I use to go to pow wows just for the fry bread and stay for the festivities. I love spending the day in the native culture!
I've eaten frybread all my life. My gran uses an actual yeast dough for hers, which creates a chewier frybread that carmelizes in the cast-iron very well. It was a standard side for our meals, of venison and garden fresh veggies, with a little butter and salt on it. It also made a great dessert with butter and fresh jam. I also enjoy this style of frybread , although instead of seasoned beef and beans, many people in my area like to use chili as the base topping for our Indian Tacos (Nalleys seems to be the most popular canned chili brand for this when we find them at local Powwows).
My mom always made bread with yeast too and we usually eat it with condensed milk and also butter and jam. My family all prefers to rip pieces off and dip them in the milk.
As a navajo I approve of this! Thank you for telling the history of our people. Your respectfulness of other cultures and curiosity for them is one of my favorite things about you! Lol the bread shaping is not an easy feat... I will admit I've dropped the dough on the floor a couple of times 😅
As someone that is Diné, I have a terribly hard time making frybread. So for you to accomplish this, I 100% salute you Emmy.
Thank you for making this series ❤️👏🏻 My favorite thing about different cultures is the food that brings us all together. And how each one has a dumpling! 😂
❤️Amen❤️
there’s something distinctly American about frying Native fry bread using cooking chopsticks.
It's awesome, isn't it?
Okay imma subscriber for life!
Navajo college student in Nor Cal getting that business degree!
I'm navajo also & I love how you're so polite with comments!😊 it is good but also very fatty😂 nice job though!
I'm Lakota Sioux and I approve this video!!!!?
Yes!!! 🙌
Eccentric Detectorist's do u really?
I am too.. from beautiful South Dakota
Me too!
This has me craving wojapi!
This is a great attempt at an Indian taco. I have Native blood and grew up eating these in New Mexico, they are offered savory and sweet. Still to this day for my birthday I have my mom make Navajo tacos instead of going out for dinner. The only suggestion I can offer is that I’ve never in my life seen black beans used in Native American cuisine or black olives. I think those additions kind of made the dish unauthentic. I would use pinto beans and the addition of something spicy like Hatch New Mexican red chile or homemade salsa.
Nah we use black olives.. You can buy them at any walmart in a can 😂😂😂
We lived in Los Alamos and worked at the Lab. Usually other people not familiar with NM don't have a clue what I just wrote. Now back to the important stuff. Lol, lol, lol, lol, I love red hatch, but I love green Hatch chili too. Hatch either way is out of this world. We almost didnt move away until we found out you can get it by mail or in AZ or CO. GREEN WAS SOLD IN HUGE BAGS. WHEN HARVESTING WAS DONE. OMG, THE SMELL OF ROASTING GREEN CHILI'S WERE HEAVENLY. Lol, hahahahahahaha, I've got my niece hooked in Colorado and a few other people elsewhere. You aren't living unless you have Hatch chili, red or green and Indian Fry Bread. Very addicting. Lol and out of this world in taste. God bless all. Love and light.
Sophy_satx When I moved away from my New Mexico I missed my hatch green and all things delicious that reminded me of home. Nothing like good home cooking!
Never thought of using these for tacos, but my mama used to make these and add sugar lb some and butter on some. Amazing. Brings me back to the 90s. What am amazing time. I recommended this channel to everyone I talk to about youtube.
Frybread and Indian Tacos are not only found in the Navajo tribe. I am Chickasaw and have been enjoying this since I was a child, Love freshly fried frybread with pinto beans. Yum!!!
My mouth started watering as soon as I saw the thumbnail. I HAVE to try this.
I’m Navajo myself, and me and my Mom were watching you do this, great job! If you can try to get “blue bird flour” the oil we have used on the Reservation was
My Grandma was full Native American and my mother made the fry bread often. They called it Squaw Bread. I make it to go with chili. Everyone loves it!!! Our tribe is Little River Band of Ottawa Indians in Michigan.
I come from the Ute and Navajo tribe and in my typical Native American tortillas and frybread I usually add the flour, baking powder and a tiny bit of salt. Kneading your dough longer and adding more water for a sticky dough makes the best and fluffiest bread.
You did a great job trying to flap it out. It takes years to master is down. I’ve been making bread since I was 6 and I’m 28 now. Finally mastered it when I was 20
This reminded me of when I was younger wow the nostalgia I just felt! Great memories great times! Thanks for doing this dish!
Navajo tacos ! I’ve had them recently in New Mexico and there great ❗️.
I'm part Mi'kmaq an east coast tribe, our bread isn't so similar it's called lusknikn. But growing up in Utah around many Navajo and other indians and polynesians I ate a ton a fry bread and navajo tacos. Almost every LDS ward dinner/luau we would have navajo tacos along with whatever else was made usually holiday themed. great video.
Hi Emmy, I'm Akimul O'odham from Az. (pima) as we are known to the outside world. Our recipe is the same but NO sugar. My grandmother and mom used to use lard for frying but later in life switched to cooking oil it works just the same. Try letting your dough rest for 30 to 45 minutes longer. We also don't make a hole in the center, just by pushing down when frying you can keep it from bubbling up. This will take practice of course but you did good. Enjoy.
