This spicy potato taco plate is a vegan dinner that is sure to please!
Perfectly roasted potatoes are topped with black beans, salsa, fresh lime, and avocado for the perfect bite.
This spicy potato taco plate is meatless mexican food at its finest.
Mexican food is a favorite in our house, and we usually make it at least once a week.
As a mostly vegetarian/vegan eater, it is one of the easiest and most flavorful dinners to make! I make it different every time and it is delicious!
This meal was spicier than I usually make, but I loved it! The red onion and peppers add a nice spiciness to the dish, without being too overwhelming.
Potatoes are one of my favorite foods to eat.
Sweet potatoes are also a fun change from just using russet potatoes, I like the mixture of both!
Roasting potatoes will always be my favorite way to eat them, as the texture is just so much better, and you get those yummy crispy edges.
Perfect toppings for your spicy potato taco plate
Lime juice is the perfect acidic topping to this dish to complement the heat.
I add lime juice to pretty much every mexican dish I make.
That extra pop of flavor just makes all of the flavors pop!
The salsa and lime really balance out the spiciness of the dish. The avocado was a perfect topping as well!
Another thing I love about taco night is how cost efficient it is.
This whole meal was probably less than $15 and feeds 4-5 people! Added bonus: it’s vegan and good for you too!
Try making this for your next taco night!

- 2 large russet potatoes, diced

For Topping

Instructions
- Dice potatoes. I microwaved mine for 6 minutes once diced so that they would cook quicker. You can also roast them without microwaving

- Roast at 450 degrees for 30-45 minutes, checking and stirring, until crispy
- Combine diced red onion, garlic, peppers, a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt pepper in a skillet and sautee for about 5-7 minutes until well cooked.
- Add black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Sample and adjust seasonings if necessary
- Layer potatoes, followed by bean mixture. Top with optional red onion, cilantro, and green onions. Squeeze lime juice on top and add salsa. Top with avocado if desired.
