Description

These flavorful potato tacos are giving Taco Bell but without the drive-thru. Simple, vegetarian and less than 5 minutes of prep- weeknight dinner win at its finest!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Creamy Chipotle Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce + 1 chipotle pepper, chopped, from a can of chipotles in adobo

Tacos:

  • 14 oz crispy seasoned potato puffs (or sub regular tator tots)
  • 3oz sharp or mild cheddar, grated
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced/shredded
  • 10 street taco-sized tortillas

Instructions

Spicy sauce: Combine the mayo, sour cream, juice of half a lime and about 1 tablespoon adobo sauce + 1 chopped chipotle pepper from a can of chipotles in adobo. Whisk together until smooth.

Tater tots: Place the tots in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for 20-22 minutes at 400 degrees F, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can just bake them in the oven on a baking sheet per the package instructions!

Other prep: Shred the lettuce. Grate the cheese. Warm the tortillas. I like to do this over the flame of my gas stovetop but you can also wrap them in foil and warm in the oven or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a minute or so.

Assembly: layer the tortillas with cheese (I like to let the cheese melt into the tortilla), lettuce, 6-7 tater tots and a generous drizzle of creamy chipotle sauce.


Notes

To lighten up the sauce you can use plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
