Mix 4 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl.

Add 3 to 4 cups of water gradually until the dough is a good consistency, not too sticky or dry.

Slice the onion thinly and set aside.

Open the Spam and slice it into pieces.

Grill the Anaheim chili over an open flame until the skin is charred and can be easily removed.

Add a little extra virgin olive oil to the skillet and brown the Spam pieces until they are not hard.

Prepare the fry bread by stretching the dough into smaller pieces, making holes in the dough to prevent puffing.

Fry the dough pieces in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

Remove the skin from the grilled Anaheim chili and keep the seeds if desired.

Assemble the fry bread sandwich by placing two slices of Spam on the fry bread, followed by the sliced onions and Anaheim chili.
