Sausage and Potato Tacos

Sausage and Potato Tacos | www.tasteandtellblog.com

I have had a little bit of an obsession lately. With tacos. Seriously. I cannot get enough of them. I have a few recipes for them waiting in the wings for you all, but I’m at the point where I could make a new taco recipe once or twice a week and be totally fine with it.

It doesn’t help that I feel like no matter the line I stand in at any grocery store, there are pictures of tacos staring back to me. Maybe it’s because Cinco de Mayo just passed, or maybe the magazine execs are just going off of the fact that people love Mexican inspired food. And in my opinion, you just can’t go wrong when you cook up some delicious ingredients and then throw them into a tortilla or a taco shell. Crowd pleasing. Kid pleasing. Me pleasing.

These tacos are a great way to change things up just a little bit. They are sausage and potato tacos. This is definitely not a combo that I would have ever thought would be good together in a taco, but let me tell you. Sausage and potatoes were meant to go together in a taco. Throw on some of the fresh salsa and you have got a pretty perfect taco.

These tacos make me want to turn every night into a taco night!

Description

These sausage and potato filled tacos are a great way to put a spin on taco night.


Ingredients

Tacos

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 6-inch flour tortillas

Salsa

  • 4 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeds and ribs discarded, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

For the tacos:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sausage and onion. Cook, breaking up the sausage as it cooks, until browned and cooked completely and the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add in the paprika, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook for one more minute. Add the potatoes back in and stir to combine.

For the salsa:

  1. Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the cilantro and cheese.

To serve:

  1. Top the tortillas with some of the sausage and serve with the salsa.

    I’ve been on a Mexican//Taco kick lately as well. I think it’s because a new restaurant just opened and I find myself wanting to recreate their tacos!

    Normally, I add cheddar cheese to my potatoes, but in this case having a Mexican inspired dish with sausage AND potatoes- Chipotle Cheddar really adds a smoky peppery kick to things. Heaven!
