  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Spicy Chipotle Sauce ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise Dukes
  • 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Crispy potato instructions

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
  • Wash and peel potatoes.  Cut potatoes into ½ inch to ¾ inch cubes.  Rinse potatoes off, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Prepare seasoned flour for potatoes by combining flour, onion power, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Drop potato chunks into the flour, and coat well.  Shake off excess seasoned flour before placing potatoes to the deep fryer.
  •  Deep fry for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.  Remove potatoes from the fryer, and drain on wire rack.

Chipotle sauce

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender and puree for about 30 seconds. Store any unused sauce in an air-tight container.

Taco Assembly

  • Prepare tacos by warming tortillas for about 30 seconds in the microwave.
  • Add two to three tablespoons of potatoes to each tortilla, drizzle on chipotle sauce, and top with shredded lettuce and cheese.
