I grew up in a big family. And as we’ve grown up, we’ve also grown in numbers! There always seems to be a birthday, anniversary, or a holiday where I’m expected to feed 50 people… and serve something impressive too! Needless to say, I’m constantly looking for recipes that can feed a crowd quickly, without a ton of mess, and without breaking the bank. This recipe is PERFECT! It comes from my sister, who always serves Navajo Tacos at her parties. They are always so yummy, but they are quick and easy too!
Ingredients for Navajo Tacos
- Frozen Roll Dough (1-2 per person)

I love this way of making scones for Navajo Tacos! And if you’re like me and forget to thaw out the dough for 4 hours before dinner, I put the frozen rolls in a ziploc bag and run it under hot water until it softens. The scones aren’t as thick as they would be had I thawed them, but they fry up just fine and still taste great!
