Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 50 grams Leafy greens (e.g., spinach or lettuce)
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Lime
- 10 grams Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based yogurt (e.g., almond or soy)
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato cubes in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings. Chop the leafy greens and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
To make the avocado lime sauce, scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add the juice of half a lime, finely chopped cilantro, and the plant-based yogurt. Mash and mix until smooth. If desired, stir in the optional hot sauce for extra spice.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering a handful of leafy greens, a portion of the roasted potatoes, cherry tomato halves, and a drizzle of the avocado lime sauce on each tortilla. Optionally, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top.
Fold the tortillas gently and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy spicy potato soft tacos!
