Navajo Tacos

3 c unsifted flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 c dry milk
1 1/4 c lukewarm water
vegetable or canola oil

In a bowl combine dry ingredients. Add the water a bit at a time to make a soft dough. Knead thoroughly. Pinch off a ball of dough about the size of a large egg and shape it round with a small hole in the middle. Work the dough hand to hand to make it thinner. Stretch to a diameter about 9 inches. In a frying pan, have ready hot oil at least 1 inch deep. Drop the thin round dough in the hot oil and fry until light brown on each side.

We usually top the fry bread with the following:
Llettuce, tomatoes, avacados, olives.
Salsa, sour cream or ranch dressing.
Ground beef, chicken, or white fish cooked in taco seasoning or salsa.

VARIATIONS:
Make is a dessert or snack by putting butter, jam. or honey.
