Taco Bell Potato Taco Inspired Recipe

I love Taco Bell’s potato taco, let’s make them at home for cheaper (plus add chicken)!

Ingredients:

• Tortillas

• Cheddar cheese, shredded

• Chipotle sauce (I used Taco Bell’s)

• Potatoes

• Seasonings + flour (or cornstarch)

• Chicken (optional)

Directions:

1. Soak chopped potatoes in ice water. Let soak for 15-30 minutes. Strain and then season generously. Cook for 20-25 minutes in the air fryer at 390°.

2. Cut chicken and season well. Cook until golden brown.

3. Assemble the tacos: spread chipotle sauce on tortillas, add the cooked potatoes and chicken, layer cheese and cabbage. Enjoy!

... Read moreTaco Bell fans will love this homemade version of their beloved potato tacos! Start by soaking your chopped potatoes in ice water for a crispy texture, then season generously with cumin, cayenne, and chili powder before air frying. For those looking to add protein, cut and season chicken, cooking until perfectly golden brown. When assembling, layer the chipotle sauce on warm tortillas, followed by the air-fried potatoes, chicken (if using), and a sprinkling of shredded cheese. You can add fresh cabbage to enhance the crunch and freshness! Customize your toppings further with avocado, diced tomatoes, or your favorite salsa for an extra kick. This recipe is budget-friendly and brings the Taco Bell taste into your kitchen, satisfying cravings without breaking the bank. Perfect for Taco Tuesday or any casual dinner, these tacos will surely impress family and friends alike! Enjoy your taco night with this easy and delicious recipe that is fun to make and even better to eat!
