A puffy disc of fried dough topped with beans, ground beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and chile. The Navajo taco, served at Pueblo Harvest Cafe and at every state fair.
Frybread emerged in 1864 during the Navajo Long Walk, when the US government rationed flour, lard and salt to the displaced Navajo people. The bread became a survival staple. Today it is served as the Navajo taco at Pueblo Harvest Cafe at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, and at the New Mexico State Fair frybread booths. The dish carries a complicated history of forced relocation and cultural endurance.
