Tacos
- 12 tortillas mini soft taco size
- 2 potatoes russet
- 2-4 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- 4 tablespoons sour cream optional
Cabbage
- ¼ head cabbage small, shredded
- 1 lime
Tacos
Cut the potato into ½ inch cubes. I like to cut off a small amount of each rounded edge so the potato is flat on all sides and then cut into uniform cubes.
Place a frying pan over medium low heat. Add the olive oil.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, allowing each edge to become golden and crispy before flipping. Season with salt.
If you have a gas stove, place another burner on medium heat. Place the tortilla directly on the burner grate. Watch carefully as it can catch fire on the edges. Let toast/char a bit on each side, flipping with tongs or a fork. Remove and let cool.
If you do not have a gas stove, you can warm your tortillas in pan.
Add some sour cream and about ¼ cup of potatoes to each tortilla.
Chimichurri
Add the parsley, garlic, oregano, chili flake, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt to a food processor or mini food processor. Blend until combined. I prefer a somewhat chunky mixture, but if you prefer a smoother mixture, feel free to continue blending until your desired consistency is reached.
Add chimichurri to the tacos and serve.
- If you don't have a food processor, chop the dry ingredients for the chimichurri (parsley, oregano, garlic, red chili flake) together finely and then whisk into a bowl with the olive oil, vinegar and salt.
- Store leftover components separately in the fridge. Reheat the potatoes in a small amount of oil in a pan when ready to eat to revive some of the crispiness.
- To make this dish vegan or dairy-free, omit the sour cream.
- Use caution when toasting/charring your tortillas on the stove. The edges can catch on the flame.
- Be sure to use less salt than recommended in this recipe if you are using table salt or sea salt instead of kosher salt.
