For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite chili powder blend to the ground beef while cooking. Fry bread is best served fresh. If making ahead, store the fry bread in an airtight container and reheat in a warm oven before serving. Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Some other great options include sour cream, guacamole, black olives, and salsa.
