I learned this one from Mom! You can keep it very low fat with soft warm corn tortillas, or fatten them up by heating tortillas (on one side only) on a very lightly sprayed skillet.

INGREDIENTS:

• Potatoes of your choice
• Salt-free (or low salt) tomato salsa
• Corn tortillas
• Sliced tomatoes
• Shredded cabbage, broccoli, carrots

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Peel and boil whole potatoes
• Drain & add salsa to taste & mash with potato masher
• Warm corn tortillas on hot skillet, as you fold them in half
• Spread potato mixture inside warmed tortillas (like spreading peanut butter!)
• Fill tacos with shredded veggies and sliced tomatoes
• (optional: may add avocado on party days!)

Serve with sides of nonfat salt-free pinto beans and rice. Enjoy!

These are vegan! They are called steak fries only because they are cut thick.

• Place potatoes into pot and bring water back up to boil

• Place them on nonstick baking sheet and into hot oven
• Bake for approximately 30+ minutes
