Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 large leaves Lettuce leaves (for taco shells)
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (Whole30 compliant)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dice the baby gold potatoes into small, bite-sized chunks (roughly 1/2-inch cubes).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare your toppings. Thinly slice the red onion, dice the jalapeño (removing seeds for milder heat, if desired), chop the fresh cilantro, and mash the avocado with lime juice in a small bowl to make a creamy avocado spread.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
To assemble the tacos, use large lettuce leaves as the taco shells. Spread a layer of the avocado mash onto each leaf, followed by a generous scoop of the spicy roasted potatoes.
Top with sliced red onion, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce for extra spice.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful Whole30-compliant spicy potato tacos!
