Indian Tacos!!! - Austin Blog Posts - Foodbuzz. Indian tacos AKA Navajo tacos are like tacos but made with Indian frybread (AKA Navajo frybread) in place of the tortilla. They are drop-dead delicious. (And pretty much drop-dead unhealthy due to the frying and the, uh … all the frying.) They were invented in the 1860s by the Navajo after their “relocation” by the US government. “Relocation” seems like a nice word for it, but it was not nice. They were forced at gunpoint to walk 450 miles to an overcrowded internment camp. Rations of wheat flour, powdered milk, and lard were supplied. Indian Frybread was the result. After a few years, this particular camp was abandoned – deemed a failure – and the remaining Navajo were allowed to walk back to their traditional territory and granted 3.5 million acres in which to resettle. This frybread recipe makes the kind of frybread I had at the Oklahoma state fair.
