Ingredients
For the roasted potatoes:
- 2 lbs. potatoes, diced into ½- to ¾-inch cubes (recommend white or Yukon gold potatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- ¼ tsp salt
For the chipotle sauce:
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 chipotle peppers, minced (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce from the can
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
For serving:
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 2 ½ cups shredded lettuce
- 2 ½ cups chopped tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add the cubed potatoes and toss with the olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Add the seasoning mixture to the bowl with the potatoes, tossing until well coated.
- Pour the potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 22-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are cooked through and tender. (Smaller diced potatoes will be on the shorter end of the cooking time, larger diced potatoes will take a bit longer.)
- Meanwhile, as potatoes are baking, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, and garlic powder.
- Serve the potatoes in small flour tortillas along with lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of the chipotle sauce. Enjoy!
