Make this ahead of time. Either reheat the tacos using tortillas the following morning, or wrap them the previous evening. They taste great with taco sauce too!

Made it with street taco tortillas 1/4 cube potatoes
This wasn’t a pretty dish by any means but it was tasty. The only thing I recommend and something I will do next time is to use less tomato sauce. The amount called for in the recipe seemed to not only overpower the potatoes but they also lose that nice crust you have on them prior to adding the sauce.
