Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups small red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dice the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added fiber.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Toss the mixture until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the taco toppings. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lime juice and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven for a few minutes.
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of crispy potatoes in each tortilla. Top with a dollop of the yogurt lime sauce, a sprinkle of finely chopped jalapeño (optional for more heat), fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately while the tacos are warm and enjoy your heart-healthy crispy potato tacos!
