So as some of you may or may not know I am of Cherokee descent, I am mostly English but I feel more Cherokee than anything, I didn’t start learning about my heritage until a few years ago, and I have been in love with the culture ever since! One thing all cultures have in common no matter where they originate is their own unique food! And let me tell you I looooove Native American food so good! My mom was wonderful enough to make some indian tacos, it consists of frybread, pinto beans, hominy relish (sounds a little out there but my word it is amazing!), ground buffalo, lettuce, tomatoes, and yogurt (takes the place of what is normally sour cream). It was so delicious!
these pictures are beautiful and delicious!!!!!
