Rachel’s Meatless Monday – Tacos (or Burritos) de Papas

Make a meatless delicious meatless taco filling with potatoes (or Papas).

Ingredients to serve 4:

2 medium potatoes, peeled or not, it’s up to you, and diced into ½-inch cubes

1 medium onion, sliced about 1/8-inch thick

Salsa (any type will do)

1 tbsp vegetable oil

Handful of Cilantro, chopped 

Taco shells or Tortillas

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat (cast iron is best, but any kind will do)

Add onions and potatoes to skillet and cover partially with lid

DO NOT STIR.  You want to let them stick so that they will get all nice and caramelized. 

After 10 min, check to see if potatoes and onions are golden-brown on bottom.  Once potatoes and onions are golden-brown on bottom, turn with spatula (the kind you use to turn over pancakes) and cover again and let cook for another 5 min.

Once  potatoes and onions are golden-brown all over, add salsa.  (Be careful adding salsa to hot pan as it may splatter, you may choose to remove from heat and let cool a few minutes before you add)

Stir on medium until salsa reduces and potatoes become coated in salsa and are just starting to break down.

Sprinkle cilantro over mixture and stir once or twice just to mix through

Serve in taco shells or tortillas.

Yum!
