Simple Potato Tacos (Vegetarian) image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: A friend recently made me pan-fried potato tacos and I loved them! That is what gave me the idea for this recipe. Kids love this too. So simple, healthy, tasty and filling.

Time 30m

Yield 12-18 tacos, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (20 ounce) bag Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (1 1/2 ounce) packet taco seasoning or 2 -3 teaspoons ground cumin
garlic salt, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
12 -18 corn tortillas (I like white)
1 (16 ounce) fat free refried black beans, heated (optional)
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch green onion, sliced
1/4 head cabbage or 1/4 head lettuce, sliced thinly
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
lemon wedge, to serve (especially good squeezed over cabbage and cilantro)
cheese, of choice (we had a choice of shredded colby or jack, crumbled feta and crumbled goat cheese)
sour cream, to serve
salsa, to serve
hot sauce, to serve (We love Tapatio)

Steps:

  • Spray oil a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Add bag of potatoes and bell pepper and toss with seasonings.
  • Put lid on and cook for about 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until heated through.
  • Remove lid, sprinkle with lemon juice and pan-fry for a few more minutes.
  • In the meantime, chop up toppings and lay out on a platter and bowls on the table.
  • Heat Tortillas in desired method. We heat them over the gas stove flame until they get some brown spots. You could also fry them, if desired. Lay in a tortilla warmer or plate and place on table.
  • Place prepared potatoes in a bowl alongside other choices and everyone can build their own tacos. Enjoy!
  • We had some without beans and some with beans smeared on the tortilla and then the potatoes and other toppings over them. Yummy both ways.
