Pow wow goers are saying you don't want to miss the chance of trying an Indian Taco. News Channel 3 spoke with one of the vendors, he says he couldn't tell us his aunties secrets. "We make fried bread, tortillas, tacos, Indian tacos, and this food was introduced to us, says one of Jenny's Cauhilla Indian taco chefs, Anthony Chapparosa. "So it's become a traditional food over time. And now we just been making that for many different gatherings and ceremonies."
