Potato Tacos with Massaged Kale are delicious and easy to make. Simply roast some seasoned potatoes, massage some kale with avocado, and add your favorite toppings! These tacos are naturally vegan and gluten-free.

I love tacos.

In fact, Taco Tuesday is a regular event in my house.

One thing I love about tacos is there are endless combinations of ingredients that work well in tortillas.

And if you want to skip the tortillas, you can make a taco salad instead.

I also love vegan taco soup!

But for an easy and comforting meal anytime of the week, you can't beat Potato Tacos with Massaged Kale.

About potato tacos

Also known as Tacos de Papa, traditional Mexican potato tacos are made by stuffing deep fried tortillas with a mashed potato filling.

They are then topped with cheese, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, and a garlic tomato sauce.

And while you don't see potato tacos at a lot of restaurants in the United States, they have been a favorite of mine since the first time I tried them years ago.

But instead of deep frying and using dairy, I like to make a healthier, although not entirely authentic, version of tacos de papa.

And with the additional of massaged kale, this recipe is full of nutrients.

Generally I prepare the potatoes by roasting them in the oven.

First I drizzle a little olive oil on them, then I season them with salt, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.

But now that I have an air fryer, I often use it for this recipe.

Not only do the potatoes cook quicker, you can use less (or no) oil.

Massaged Kale Salad

Although an uncommon ingredient in tacos, I love the combination of roasted potatoes and massaged kale salad.

You may be familiar with the process of massaging kale if you've tried Strawberry Avocado Kale Salad.

It only takes a few minutes.

First I remove the tough ribs and roughly chop the kale into bite-size pieces.

Then simply use your hands to massage the kale with avocado until it's nice and tender and slightly reduced in volume.

Next you add a little lime juice and salt.

Then once the potatoes are browned, it's time to make the tacos.

This recipe makes 8-10 tacos, depending on the size of the tortillas used.

I like to top mine with sliced olives, quartered cherry tomatoes, and hot sauce.

But you can add your favorite toppings such as cilantro, extra avocado, vegan cheese, green or red onions, or chipotle cream.

The possibilities are endless!
