Fry Bread Breakfast Tacos

These Fry Bread Breakfast Tacos are my take on a classic fry bread taco. Normally filled with ground beef and taco toppings, maybe beans, but these are my favorite because who doesn’t love a breakfast taco? Of course, you can fill these with whatever taco fixings you love. Go crazy!

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling Pin
  • Skillet

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups warm water
  • vegetable oil for frying

Toppings:

  • 6 to 8 eggs scrambled or fried
  • Bacon cooked
  • Sausage crisped and crumbled
  • 3 medium potatoes cooked and browned
  • Avocado sliced
  • Tomatoes diced
  • Cheese queso fresco, crumbled
  • Scallions sliced
  • Sour cream
  • Beans
  • Hot sauce

Salsa:

  • 1 15 ounce can whole tomatoes (with their juices)
  • 1 10 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel) (with their juices)
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 jalapeño sliced (optional)
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until completely combined. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is somewhat smooth. Place back in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Heat the oil in a pot or a skillet with high sides, until very hot. Portion out the dough into golf ball sized balls—you should get about 8 to 10 balls—and then roll out on a lightly floured work surface, until very thin. Poke a hole in the center of the dough to allow steam to escape while frying. Fry the dough rounds, one at a time, for about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough until they are all fried. Keep the fry breads warm in the oven set at 250°F.
  • Meanwhile for the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. You can leave it slightly chunky, if you prefer. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To assemble the tacos, top with eggs cooked the way you like it. Over easy, sunny side up, over hard or scrambled. Add browned potatoes, cooked bacon or crumbled sausage. Garnish with your choice of diced tomatoes, cheese, avocado, scallions, sour cream, beans, hot sauce or homemade salsa (recipe follows). Serve warm. The extra fry breads can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or food storage bag and rewarmed in the oven when ready to use. You can also freeze the fried fry breads and rewarm later on. Make the toppings and assemble the tacos when you are ready to eat. Enjoy!
