Spinach-Potato Tacos

The poblano peppers, spinach, and potatoes make this taco filling really special.
Course: Main Course, Sandwich
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4 (makes 12 tacos)

Ingredients

  • Makes 12 tacos.
  • 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed and cut into small dice
  • 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 medium poblano pepper seeded and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 cup unsweetened unflavored plant milk
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  • If you’re going to bake the tortillas, preheat the oven to 375.
  • Squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as you can.
  • In a large skillet, cook the onion and poblano pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally and adding water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time as needed to keep the vegetables from sticking, until softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the reserved spinach and potatoes along with the plant milk and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • To make taco shells, drape each corn tortilla over the rungs of an oven rack and bake for 7-8 minutes at 375 until they are crispy and golden.
  • To serve, place the tortillas on individual serving plates or a large platter and divide the potato mixture among them, spooning it onto the center of each.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
