Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin powder, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings: slice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and let them cool slightly.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, fill each tortilla with a portion of the spicy roasted potatoes.
Top with avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
