Crispy Potato Soft Tacos (Vegan Taco Bell Version)

Another fast-food copycat! I love the Spicy Potato Soft Taco at Taco Bell. The only problem is the most delicious part- the creamy chipotle sauce- isn't vegan, and it totally makes the taco! So I made it my mission to re-create this recipe at home, and I can now have a vegan Spicy Potato Soft Taco whenever I want! Let me tell you, it tastes just as good as the restaurant version!

RECIPE

Serves 4:

• 4-6 medium potatoes

• Oil

• Chili powder

• Garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Soft taco-size tortillas (flour is standard, but you can use any kind)

• Iceberg lettuce, shredded

• 1 diced tomato

Peel and dice potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them into a pot. Pour cold water over the potatoes until it covers the top of them by a couple inches. Add a pinch of salt to the water and place on the stove to boil.

Boil potatoes for about 10 minutes, or until beginning to soften, but not falling apart.

Place a large pan over medium-high heat. Add a good amount of oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add cooked potatoes, along with spices, salt, and pepper.

Cook for 5-10 more minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, adding more oil if necessary to keep potatoes from sticking.

Spicy Chipotle Sauce

• 4 T vegan mayo

• 1 T sriracha or other hot sauce

• 1 tsp. adobo sauce from a jar of chipotles (can leave out if you don't have it, the sauce will still taste good)

• 1 T lime juice

• Tiny pinch of salt and pepper

Mix together until smooth. Looks extra pretty if you use a squeeze bottle to drizzle over top of the tacos!

Heat up the tortillas in a pan. Layer on the crispy potatoes, sauce, lettuce, and tomato. Add more hot sauce on top if desired. You can even add some avocado if you're feeling extra!

If you have leftover potatoes, you can use them again! Just reheat them in a pan on the stove until they come back to their crispy selves.

Enjoy!
