Navajo Tacos

We needed to use up some chili and make some kind of salad that I could get my kids to eat, so Navajo Tacos it is.  Normally, I make fry bread for them, but fry bread can be a little hard to cut at times, so I decided to try scones.  I had seen this scone recipe and thought I'd give it a try.  I did modify it a little, I substituted a cup of whole wheat flour for white flour to make them a little healthier, and instead of rolling them out and cutting them, I just took balls of dough and shaped them into circular type shapes.  There was also plenty of dough, so I did refrigerate some of the leftovers to make scones with Honey butter for a snack later :)



The verdict:  I loved these scones.  They took a little bit more preparation than I am used to, I'm the kind of person that wants to just finish something start to finish so breads are not my specialty.  However, these were soft, light and delicious.  My kids really liked them too.  My husband liked them, but he thought they were a little sweet to be having for Navajo Tacos, he would have preferred them with just Honey Butter.
