How to make the Potato Tacos

The Potato Tacos recipe is super easy, and it is vegan for all the benefits.

1. Take the Potatoes and cut them into little pieces. Put all the potatoes (After chopping) in a large bowl/pot and fill it with water. Heat the water and when it starts boiling, cover it with a lid. Let the potatoes sit in the water till they turn tender. It will take around 15–20 minutes for the potatoes to turn tender. Check using a fork and turn off the heat. Drain the water and keep the potatoes to the side.

2. Now, take the olive oil in a pan and keep the pan over medium to high heat. We will start by cooking the potatoes first. Add the potatoes to the pan and let them cook in the oil for a while. Make sure not to flip over or stir the potatoes. Once you get an idea that they are crispy on one side, flip the potatoes to the other side to add the

crunchiness. Add the Chopped bell pepper to the potatoes. Add the taco seasoning to the mixture as well and combine all of these. Let the ingredients combine well, and move on to add other ingredients to the recipe.

3. The third step in the Potato Tacos recipe is cooking the beans a little. Get a pan and keep it over medium heat.

Add both the black beans and the refried beans to the pan. Stir them for a while over medium heat. Turn off the heat after cooking the beans.

4. Before assembling and preparing tortillas, place the tortillas in a paper towel and let them heat in the microwave for at least 30 seconds.
