frybreads
Native American staple
Frybreads is the plural of frybread, a Native American flatbread made from dough that's stretched or patted flat and deep-fried until golden and puffy.
The bread is associated particularly with Navajo cuisine and often serves as the base for Indian tacos, topped with meat, beans, and cheese.
We made frybreads for the powwow.
