Indian Fry Bread

What is Isleta? Who is Isleta? Isleta is a Navajo Indian Reservation South of Albuquerque. The Indian Village at the NM State Fair was the place to go and get a fresh, hot, Indian Fry Bread or a Indian taco. Best memories of the fair was standing in a long line and finally devouring some Indian Fried bread or a tasty Indian Taco. Very easy recipe. Enjoy!
