Ingredients

• 300 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 50 grams Leafy greens (e.g., spinach or lettuce)
• 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Lime
• 10 grams Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based yogurt (e.g., almond or soy)
• 1 teaspoon Optional: Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato cubes in the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings. Chop the leafy greens and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

Step 6

To make the avocado lime sauce, scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add the juice of half a lime, finely chopped cilantro, and the plant-based yogurt. Mash and mix until smooth. If desired, stir in the optional hot sauce for extra spice.

Step 7

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by layering a handful of leafy greens, a portion of the roasted potatoes, cherry tomato halves, and a drizzle of the avocado lime sauce on each tortilla. Optionally, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top.

Step 9

Fold the tortillas gently and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy spicy potato soft tacos!
