Potato Tacos!

I have been really slacking lately and I'm going to try and get better about it.  First off, I have a whole strew of photos on my camera of food that I haven't blogged and when I go to blog it, I can't remember how I made it!  Second, by the time I take my photos, I am just so ready to eat that I don't really spend much time on them.  But they don't need to look amazing, they just need to taste amazing... like these potato tacos!

Tacos are one of my favorite foods ever.  And I don't mean fast food tacos... I mean the real deal.  We don't eat much meat anymore so I've been trying to make different kinds of meatless tacos.  Actually, the meatless crumbles are really good in tacos too.  These potato tacos are just something different and delicious!  I was eating the leftovers at work for lunch and the ladies at work were drooling.


Potato Tacos!
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
5-6 baby red potatoes cut into about 1 inch cubes
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp chipotle chili powder
2 tbs olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1 cup refried beans (I cook pinto beans, smash them with some veggie broth, add cheese and call them refried beans... or you could just get canned)
2 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup salsa 
8 corn tortillas (we used hard shell this time)

Directions:
Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl and toss with spices and oil until coated.  Transfer them to an oiled baking sheet. Bake at 400 for about 20-30 minutes or until soft. 

To assemble:
Place a scoop of the refried beans in the bottom of the shell, top with potatoes, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, yogurt, and salsa.  You can also add toppings that you prefer.  The yogurt goes so well with the potatoes, it's just ridiculous.  Enjoy!
