I love eating Navajo Tacos, also known as Indian Fry Bread. I especially have a lot of fond memories eating them on campouts. And after I eat one or two Navajo Tacos (because they are so good), then I always eat another one with honey butter on the fry bread. It is delicious! If you have never had honey butter on Indian Fry Bread, then you need to try it!
