Fry Bread for Navajo Tacos

This is such a yummy, quick fry bread recipe, especially when topped with chili, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, salsa, and sour cream. I've tried several recipes which were tough, but this came out perfectly crispy and soft.

2 c flour
1 TBS baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-2 tsp oil
1 c milk

Combine dry ingredients, add oil and milk and mix well. Knead on a floured counter and add flour until it isn't too sticky. Knead for a few minutes, then let rest for 5 minutes.

Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a deep pan. Divide dough into 4-6 pieces and flatten into a thin circle. Fry on each side for a few minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oil and let rest on paper towels for a few minutes.

This was awesome with my chili recipe. (I will share that one soon!)
