South Dakota – Indian Taco

Welcome to The Mount Rushmore State and another Great Plate!

Now this is how South Dakota does taco night! Piled high on golden, puffy fry bread (not some crunchy store-bought shell) this is comfort food with a story. Back in the late 1800s, when American Indians were relocated to reservations, they were rationed simple ingredients like flour, salt, lard, and powdered milk. In South Dakota, they got yeast instead of baking soda, so naturally, they made fry bread rise to the occasion. Today, that same recipe holds strong, a little crispy, a little fluffy, and a whole lot of heart. 

We start with our house-made South Dakota fry bread, yep, the official state bread. Golden, fluffy, and just the right amount of crispy around the edges. We top it with seasoned ground beef (or, for the veggie folks, our seasoned black beans). Then we pile on diced tomatoes, onions, green chilis, shredded cheddar, a little iceberg for crunch, and a good ol’ dollop of sour cream to seal the deal.

From resilience to recipe, it’s a South Dakota story told on fry bread. Every bite is a nod to strength, resourcefulness, and good eatin’.
