"Do beans, cheese and lettuce enfolded in puffy fry bread constitute a taco? 100 percent. Arizona’s indigenous peoples have been eating their own delicious versions of the taco for more than 100 years. In 1992, Fry Bread House founder Cecilia Miller of the Tohono O’odham Nation created a gathering spot for Natives to enjoy the hearty, Mexican-influenced food they grew up on, but customers of every stripe soon discovered how good her food was, including the folks at the James Beard Foundation, who gave them an America’s Classics award in 2012. Although there are eight tacos on the menu, most offer some combination of beans, cheese, lettuce, and beef with additions such as Hatch chile, sour cream, or onion." - Nikki Buchanan
