🌟 Tips

• Fry bread can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet.

• For a twist, add beans or corn to the beef.

• Keep oil at medium heat—too hot burns the bread before cooking through.

If you want, I can also give a baked fry bread version, a vegetarian version, or a sweet dessert fry bread version 🍯
