Navajo Tacos on Gluten Free Flatbread, GF, DF, xanthan free

My husband and I live in Oklahoma and love Navajo tacos (known locally as Indian tacos), typically fried flat bread topped with refried beans, taco meat, lettuce, tomato and cheese.

One night when I made Ali's gluten-free hamburger buns, my husband commented that the bread would make a good bread for Indian tacos.

Tonight I made them  into a gluten-free baked "fry" bread. They are incredibly tasty and filling and now my husband is wanting to try several other dishes with Ali's gluten-free hamburger bun recipe.

Gluten Free Navajo Tacos /Fry Bread

For the baked "fry" bread without xanthan gum, I followed the directions for Ali's Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns, substituting 1:1 psyllium husk powder for the xanthan gum and didn't let the bread rise.

I simply spread it into flat rounds on a baking sheet and baked at 400 for 15 minutes.
