I've had mashed potato enchiladas, and they were very good...but never potato tacos. How are the potatoes prepared?

I've never had mashed potato enchiladas - sounds like a winner!

For potato tacos, some use tater tots or mashed potatoes, but this is how we make it:

Saute diced red potatoes in a little oil and chimichurri sauce until they're cooked through and slightly crisped.

In a separate pan I sear sliced tofu that I've coated with a little soy sauce and taco seasoning. (About a Tbsp of each for 16 oz of tofu.)

Funny thing - despite my daughter's family being omnivores, and she made carne asada for their tacos, her kids prefer potato and tofu tacos to meat and made their tacos with what I brought. When wrapping up to leave, I asked if I should leave the leftover tofu, and the kids both said, "Yes, PLEASE!" Who'd guess 10 & 13 year old omnivores would feel that way about tofu?

Sounds good w/the addition of the chimichurri sauce on the potatoes, and adding the taco seasoning to the tofu would work for me. You're really switching up those kid's palates lol. Move over Martha Stewart...there's new cook in town. :giggle:

When seasoned well, tofu is pretty tasty. I've never used chimichurri sauce. I need to don't I?

I made pesto. We had a lot of basil. I freeze it in ice cube trays in 2 tblsp servings. It occurred to me that I could make pesto hummus by adding a cube to pureed chick peas. I'm sure it's been done. How easy that would be!

I make hummus at least weekly, starting with dry garbanzos. Other than a little cumin, I don't flavor the batches, but will sometimes stir pesto or other ingredients into a small amount of hummus.
