Potato Pickle Tacos w/ Cabbage Avocado Slaw

Dinner Fusion Mexican-Inspired Potatoes Tacos Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese or mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup chopped pickles
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1/3 cup Oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Half of a ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 sprigs cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely sliced chives or green onions
  • 1/2 jalapeño seeded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 3-4 cups shredded cabbage

Instructions

In a blender, add the sour cream, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, celery and salt.

Blend until creamy (add a little water if the consistency is too thick) and set aside in the refrigerator.

Peel and cube the potatoes and place into a medium pot, covered with cold water and salt.

Boil for 15 minutes or until fork tender, then drain.

Place the potatoes in a medium mixing bowl and mash well.

Add the cheese, pickle juice, pickles and salt; mix until well combined.

Place a heaping spoon of the potato mixture on one half of the tortilla and fold the tortilla over, pressing to seal the edges.

Repeat for all tortillas.

Heat about 1/3 cup oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Fry tacos carefully for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the tacos by putting some of the cabbage slaw in between each taco and serve.
