When I set out to make whole-grain tortillas last week, I had this specific recipe for roasted potato tacos in mind. I’ve been on a little meatless kick lately, mostly because my miniscule college-student grocery budget doesn’t allow me to splurge much at the grocery store. And potatoes are cheap. And also, roasted potatoes are one of my favorite foods on the planet.
 
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Slightly spicy, savory, sweet, tangy, nutty.
Texture: The potatoes are browned and almost crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The sour cream dressing is thick and smooth.  
Ease: Very easy!
Appearance: How could you not want a taco for yourself?
Pros: Flavorful and satisfying meatless meal.
Cons: None.
Would I make this again? I’ve already made these tacos twice!

    These look so great! I've been wanting to make vegetarian tacos for a while now, ever since I saw the mushroom tacos in Super Natural Every Day. Yours are first on the list 🙂

    These look delish! I love to add potatoes to my grilled veggies for tacos in the summer. I'll have to give this recipe a try next time the weather isn't so nice for grilling!

    I'm not ashamed to admit I sort of love the potato tacos from Taco Bell, and I'm willing to bet these are SO much better 🙂 Can't wait to try them!
