I found a basic recipe for this on allrecipes.com. But I think the trick is to use Butter Flavor Crisco when frying! It was delicious!INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (or goat milk)
Butter Flavor Crisco for frying
DIRECTIONS:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, and mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour if necessary to be able to handle the dough. On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, at least 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat shortening in a large, deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Oil should be about 1-1 and 1/2 inches deep. Break off 3/4 cup sized pieces of dough, (I made 8 small balls) and shape into round discs 1/8-1/4 inch in thickness, making a thinner depressed area in the center. Fry breads in the hot oil until golden on both sides, turning only once. Drain on paper towels.
- Top fry bread with beans, ground beef or chili, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Spoon picante sauce over. You can also top with other of your favorite taco toppings, such as onion, sour cream or guacamole.

Okay. I am making this one. I've been craving homemade Navajo tacos for awhile now. This has the Cheree stamp of approval. :)
So where do you buy goat's milk? Does it taste completely different from cow's milk?
I use goat milk because my son is allergic to cow's milk. You can purchase goat milk at WalMart or any health food store. I purchase Meyenburg goat milk. Goat milk tastes similar to cow's milk, but you can taste the "animal" in it. I grew up on fresh cow's milk and when I first tasted it, it reminded me of that.
