kcalBold, crunchy, and utterly satisfying, these Crispy Chicken And Potato Tacos are packed with perfectly seasoned chicken and potatoes, fresh cabbage, and a creamy lime sauce.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
12 small corn or flour tortillas
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving
For the Creamy Lime Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Pinch of salt
Directions
- 1. Prepare Chicken: Cook and shred chicken breasts. Set aside.
- 2. Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 3. Cook Potatoes: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender-crisp.
- 4. Combine Filling: Once potatoes are cooked, add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- 5. Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas according to package directions (microwave, oven, or skillet) until pliable.
- 6. Make Creamy Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
- 7. Assemble Tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with the chicken and potato mixture. Top with shredded cabbage and a drizzle of creamy lime sauce.
- 8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
- The Potato Prep Secret: For truly crispy potatoes, make sure your diced cubes are roughly the same size for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd your pan, either; cook them in batches if necessary to get that perfect golden-brown crust!
- Flavor Boost for Chicken: If you’re cooking fresh chicken, consider seasoning it with a little extra chili powder and cumin while it cooks. It adds another layer of deliciousness that really ties the whole taco together.
- DIY Creamy Lime Sauce: Don’t skip the sauce! It perfectly balances the richness of the chicken and potatoes. If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt works wonderfully for a lighter twist. Adjust lime to your taste!
