Have a frybread taco party. After each one cools slightly, hand it to a guest to stuff with cheese, beans, taco meat, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, black olives, sour cream, salsa, and/or guacamole. (A big thank-you to our former housemate, Aaron Montoya, for that fantastic idea)
