Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 second spray Olive Oil Spray
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 4 pieces Small Whole Wheat Tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded Romaine Lettuce
- 1 cup Diced Tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons Low-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 slice Fresh Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and boil the diced potatoes for 6-8 minutes, or until slightly tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
4. Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
5. Toss the potatoes gently to coat them evenly in the spices, then cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy on the edges.
6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
7. Assemble each taco by placing a portion of the spicy potatoes in the center of a tortilla, then topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lime, and fresh cilantro, if desired.
8. Drizzle with hot sauce if you like extra heat.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spicy potato soft tacos!
