This simple yet flavorful recipe is perfect for taco nights, offering a unique twist on traditional fillings. These tacos are easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup roasted green chiles, diced (canned or fresh)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
2. Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Green Chiles and Spices: Stir in the diced green chiles, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well combined.
4. Warm the Tortillas: While the potato mixture is finishing, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.
5. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the potato and green chile mixture onto the warm tortillas. Add any optional toppings you desire, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice.
6. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately while they’re hot and enjoy!

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider roasting the potatoes with olive oil and spices in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes before combining with the other ingredients.
• If you prefer a spicier taco, use hotter varieties of green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
• These tacos can be easily customized with other vegetables like corn, black beans, or avocado for added variety.

Enjoy your delicious Potato Green Chile Tacos, a perfect vegetarian meal full of flavor and comfort!
