These are fun to build. It’s a blank canvas so build your flavors how you like. These can be made with portioned toppings so you can fold in half to eat, or like me, I pile them high and get after it fork and knife style.

So for my base layer I placed a handful of chili cheese Fritos on first, then covered those with beans then green Chile gravy made with ground beef and pork.

Then a drizzle of sour cream, then shredded Oaxaca and cheddar cheese, top that with shredded iceberg lettuce and thin sliced onion, some yellow cherry tomatoes from a friends garden and lastly avocado slices.

Feel free to build them your way.

those look so good. I always order these in Ruidoso. Best "tacos" ever. That bread reminds me of fall in New Mexico.

Few years back my wife helped a lady run a cook tent at the rendezvous we go to... the rolls of frozen bread rolls you can buy at the store work good as well if anyone wants to make some but doesn't want to make the bread.

Offered at Rendezvous around the area and the annual Chautauqua 10 miles from here. I think (don't quote me) the French and indigenous introduced this to the Scandinavian settlers. It has been a part of my Nordic culture for over a hundred years.
The best fry bread is from yeast dough
