Ingredients

Servings

Potatoes:

  • 2 russet potatoes large, baking
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder Or swap favorite seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Spicy Yogurt Sauce:

  • ½ cup yogurt plain, whole milk preferred
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce I used Cholula. Use more or less hot sauce depending on heat level of the hot sauce, favorite, mild

Taco Shells:

  • 8 corn tortilla or flour tortilla
  • oil a few drops, for brushing the pan

Taco Toppings:

  • 4 ounces pepper jack cheese freshly grated
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced
  • cup chives finely chopped

Extra Toppings (Optional):

  • 1 lime cut into 8 wedges
  • salsa
  • hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, about ¼" across.
  3. Lay the potatoes in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss the potatoes in the oil.In a small bowl, add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and red chili flakes. Stir to combine, and then sprinkle the spices over the potatoes.
  4. Bake potatoes for 20 minutes, and then turn the potatoes. Bake about 10 more minutes, or until potatoes are crispy.
  5. While the potatoes roast, mix yogurt and hot sauce together with a spoon.
  6. Brush a non-stick or cast iron pan with oil. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, and cook the tortillas one at a time. Heat about 30 seconds on the first side and 15 seconds on the other side, until each side begins to bubble up.Keep tortillas warm by placing on a plate and covering with a towel.
  7. When the potatoes finish roasting, sprinkle with salt.
  8. To assemble the tacos, divide the potatoes, cheese, and avocado among the tortillas. Top each taco with a dollop of sauce and a few chives. Alternatively, arrange all the ingredients as a taco bar and let everyone build their own tacos.Serve right away while the potatoes and tortillas are still warm.
