Roasted Potato and Kale Tacos

Roasted Potato and Kale Tacos are delicious and easy to make. Simply roast some seasoned potatoes, massage some kale with avocado, and add your favorite toppings!

I love tacos. Of course I eat them on Tuesdays, but I’ve been to known to eat tacos several times a week. There are so many combinations of ingredients that work well in tacos. And if you want to skip the tortillas, you can make a taco salad instead.

Have you ever tried roasted potato and kale tacos?

You don’t see potato tacos at a lot of restaurants, but they have been a favorite of mine since the first time I tried them years ago. And with the additional of massaged kale, this recipe is very healthy, not to mention delicious. Plus massaging kale is kind of fun!

Makes 8-10 tacos, depending on the size of the tortillas used.

Ingredients

• 1 pound potatoes (red, white, or yellow) cut into small chunks
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 bunch kale (any variety) washed and dried, ribs removed, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 avocado
• 2 Tbsp lime juice (1 lime)
• 1 pinch salt
• tomatoes and sliced olives (or your favorite toppings)
• 8 corn tortillas
• hot sauce for serving (My favorite is Cholula.)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. Combine potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and salt. Using your hands, toss to coat. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 25-30 minutes, until potatoes are tender and slightly browned, flipping them after about 15 minutes.
3. While potatoes are cooking, combine the chopped kale and avocado in another large bowl. Massage the kale with your hands for a few minutes until the kale has reduced in volume and is tender. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt and toss kale to combine.
4. Heat tortillas according to package directions.
5. Build your tacos: add potatoes, kale, and your favorite toppings (such as tomatoes and sliced olives) to the tortillas, then douse with hot sauce. Enjoy!
