  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  •  1 large clove garlic

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Directions

  • Peel and dice potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan. Once hot, add potatoes.
  • Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, adding more oil if necessary to keep potatoes from sticking.
  • Now add onion powder, garlic powder, salt and Red chili powder. Toss with the potatoes until coated.
  • Heat a frying pan or griddle. Once fully heated, place tortillas on it and cook for about a minute on each side. No oil needed.
  • Prepare chipotle sauce.
  • Once the potatoes are done, then assemble tacos – tortilla, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and a spoonful of chipotle sauce.
  • How to make Chipotle sauce–
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender and puree for about 30 seconds.
  • Taste and add more salt or lime juice if desired. Store any unused sauce in an air-tight container.

Notes

  • Get creative with your potatoes! Roast them, pan-fry them, or even hash them for different textures.
  • Experiment with spice levels to suit your preference. Go mild with smoked paprika or kick it up a notch with jalapenos or habaneros.
  • Add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or even corn for extra flavor and texture.
  • Top with your favorite fixings! Cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, are all welcome additions.
