Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.

- Pour over the vegetable broth, bring to a low simmer and them place a lid on the fry pan.
- Cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until the potatoes are just cooked.
- Remove the lid and stir in the crushed garlic, extra cumin, turmeric powder and sweet paprika.
- Simmer with the lid off for a further 5 minutes until the stock has reduced down and the potatoes coated in a thick saucy layer.

Cup of Yum
For the taco shells.
- Use a 2 ½ inch (3 cm) cookie cutter to cut 4 mini rounds out of each flour tortillas (if your tortillas are jumbo you will get 6 out of each on)
Cup of Yum
To fill and cook
- To fill the tortillas, gently fold each disk in half and use an upturned mini muffin tin to keep it upright whilst you fill it.
- Add a spoonful of the potato mixture to each taco and then sprinkle with cheese.
- Cook the mini tacos for 7-8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the shells have crisped up.
- Serve garnished with cilantro
Notes
- Standard sized tortillas with give you 4 disks per tortilla but the jumbo ones will produce 6 rounds.
