Ingredients

• 4 cups small red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dice the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added fiber.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Toss the mixture until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the taco toppings. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lime juice and set aside.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of crispy potatoes in each tortilla. Top with a dollop of the yogurt lime sauce, a sprinkle of finely chopped jalapeño (optional for more heat), fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the tacos are warm and enjoy your heart-healthy crispy potato tacos!
