Frybread is a thick flatbread of deep fried dough developed by the Navajo people after the Long Walk, when they were forcibly relocated to Bosque Redondo, New Mexico. It is served as a snack with honey or as the base of a Navajo taco, and the New Mexico sopaipilla is a variant of it. Indian Pueblo Kitchen at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center serves an Indian taco on house made frybread with Pueblo beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and chile, and sells frybread as a side. The New Mexico State Fair food guide names Navajo tacos and fry bread among the fair's staples.
