What the hell is a Fry Bread Taco, you ask?? It's a roadside / street food popular in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado found at state fairs, trailers on Navajo reservations, and sit down restaurants. Sort of an awesome fusion of Navajo, Mexican, and state fair Tex-Mex cuisine, rarely (if ever) found in this part of the country.


Every Navajo taco starts with a base of fried dough, most commonly topped with chili beans, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and fresh salsas. Many variations exist ranging from stewed mutton to vegetarian and dessert styles.


What the hell is Shiprock Pop-Up? It's a team effort between Marcos Espinoza (aka Fidel Gastro, founder of Side Project Jerky) whose family owns Navajo Hogan, a real-deal Fry Bread Taco place in Utah; Lucio Palazzo, chef of La Calaca Feliz, and Hawk Krall (me).

Marcos "Flapping" The Dough

The Pop-Up is next monday, January 21st, 9pm at 12 Steps Down in the 9th street market area. 3 different tacos plus a dessert fry bread will be available, First come first serve, no reservations or tickets just show up and eat 1 or 5 tacos. Along with the three of us Marcos's Mother will be in the kitchen making sure our tacos live up to the authentic Utah standard.


I'm sort of biased but I have to say these things are freaking delicious. The perfect mix of authentic and crazy desert drunk food - really exactly what we're going for rather than anything "re-imagined". The only thing you might call "elevated" are Lucio's mind blowingly delicious chili beans and braised meats. Pop-up goes until midnight or until we run out, whichever comes first.

  1. onlytoasteroven.weebly.com,you are able to use a toaster oven to warm up numerous pieces of make,but toaster ranges are designed for therefore significantly more. The options are confined just by your culinary creativity: you are able to cook pizzas, pastries, German fries, greens, poultry, meat, fish, bagels – you could be astonished at how a variety of meals you are able to prepare. Since a toaster oven heats up quicker when compared to a standard range you'll have a tendency to put it to use more frequently than their bigger nephew, and with a comparatively little presence they are able to match nearly everywhere in your kitchen. Pick from models like KitchenAid, Hamilton Seaside, Cuisinart, Breville, and Dark & Decker.
