Chicken And Egg Salad

Not just served at powwows, you can make your own Fry-Bread Tacos right at home! These tacos are crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. You can use any style of meat toppings, but one of our favourites is the caramelized grilled barbecue chicken. Theres is an art to layering these tasty tacos. Start with your fresh fry bread, shredded lettuce, grilled barbecue chicken, topped with your own quick homemade pebre (salsa, Chilean style) adapted version from our Indigenous friends of Chile.

Fry Bread

4. Cut off a piece of dough, flour lightly and pat piece of dough into a 4 inch diameter circle. Flatten and stretch between your hands to about 1/2 inch thick.

5. Gently place flattened dough into hot oil, cooking until golden brown, about 1 to 1-1/2 minute per side, turning only once. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Pebre Salsa

1. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients and let rest for the flavours to meld.

Barbecue Chicken

1. Thinly slice chicken breast lengthwise into -inch strips.

2. In a large cast iron pan, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper. Cook until no pink remains and internal temperature reaches 165F. Lightly brush with your favourite barbecue sauce. Grill until slightly caramelized and golden brown.

Toppings & Assembly
