Just last nite I fixed the ex-wife and I Sawmill Gravy with Biscuits... During my prep I thought to myself what a fine meal and cheap also... I would share my recipe, but I would have to dispatch anyone who reads and retains the secret ingredients...

Indian fry bread/Navajo tacos

Fry bread.....

About 3 Cups flour
2 Tbls baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbls oil
Enough warm water to make a dough (1 to 2 cups)

Mix & knead the dough about 5 minutes, adding a bit of flour if needed to keep it from being sticky. Pinch off a dozen pieces & roll into a ball & let rest about 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile heat about an inch or so of oil in a pan till hot. Roll out or stretch a piece of dough till flat & thin, maybe 1/4 inch thick or less. Carefully lower into hot oil. Poke any bubbles that form. Cook just a few minutes until the underside is golden brown. Turn & cook the other side. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with each piece of dough...…..roll out or stretch, fry, turn, fry, drain.



Then top with taco meat (can be mixed with beans), shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and cheese. Drizzle with some Hispanic sour or table cream



eta...….same fry bread or any leftover breads can also be eaten with cinnamon/sugar sprinkled on, or drizzled with honey

I love fry bread. Indian tacos are one of my faves.
 
You can get a lot of meals out of those boxes of fish sticks if you try things like this:
Cook only 4 sticks per serving in an air fryer (380 10 minutes), cut into pieces and place on a bed of rice with cauliflower and drizzle a spicy orange mayo(great value boom boom shrimp sauce) on the fish pieces. You will not be able to tell that it is not fried shrimp, because the sauce is the focal point and the airfryer fish is the matching texture.
Scallions if you have them can be cut up and used in this dish as well. Instead of rice, sometimes cuts of Romain lettuce is used as the bed to place the fish on, but because of our situations to not shop often, lettuce is not priority in shopping for long sustaining edibles.
