These Chicken Chili Navajo Tacos are a great way for everyone to have what they want. Start with a scone base and top with your favorite taco toppings.
Navajo Tacos
Navajo Tacos are a happy memory from my childhood. I remember being given a giant scone and then getting to load it with all my favorite things: chili, tomatoes, avocados, etc. I could put whatever I wanted on and leave off whatever I didn’t like, making it the perfect meal for my picky eating. I still love to make them, but now I make them with white chili or ghost chili for that extra flavor!
Scones:
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 3 cups flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- Oil for frying
Heat 1-2 inches of oil over medium heat for 5 minutes before you start frying. Test that the oil is hot enough by putting a small piece of dough in the oil. If it starts to bubble around the dough right away, it is hot enough to fry your scones. DO NOT use high heat! The oil will get too hot and the scones will burn on the outsides before they cook through the middle. Let each scone fry until light brown, flip it over to the other side and let that brown. Use tongs to remove the scones from the oil and allow them to sit on a paper towel to drain the oil.

I really appreciate the tips for frying. I tend to avoid it generally so when I do deep fry something I always seem to struggle with the temperature.

I've heard of fry bread before (what you call scones, here)–my grandpa made a version for us every time we'd come home for a visit. Hadn't heard of using them as a taco base (or as a vehicle for anything other that sugar, syrup, or jelly, lol).
