Same as Navajo Fry Bread, but cooked outdoors over an open fire on a grill. Also called Ute tortillas. Gives a toasty crisp taste. Served with meal of green chilies and roasted meat.

Fried bread, native fast food, is one of the most popular and widespread of native foods served at pow wows, Indian cowboy rodeos, festivals and family ggatherings. There are two basic recipes: one is a yeast-leavened bread dough, and the other is a quicker baking powder version. Fry bread is served with honey or powered sugar, chokecherry and saskatoonberry gravy or sauce. Sometimes fresh sasktoons are mixed into the raw dough. American natives in the south are known to chop onions and chilies into the dough.

A basket of fried bread and bannock placed in the middle of the dinner table at the Pitaa Native Dinner Show quickly disappears. Enjoy!
