Ingredients

4-5 small/medium potatoes

1/2 tsp salt and pepper

2 tsp chili powder

How To Make
To make these Beef and Potato Tacos, start by peeling, chopping, and washing 4-5 small/medium sized potatoes and adding them to a bowl. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. I don’t use exact measurements for this part.
Add potatoes to an air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. I like to shake them around at least a couple of times while the potatoes are cooking.
In a skillet, brown ground beef with a chopped onion over medium high heat. Drain any grease from the skillet and add the taco seasoning. I like to use salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and dried cilantro. You could also use your favorite taco seasoning packet instead!
Once potatoes are finished cooking add them to the skillet of ground beef. In a sparate pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium high heat.
Add tortillas to the pan, top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and top with the ground beef and potato mixture. Fold the tortilla over and cook until both sides are golden brown and crunchy. I like to flip them a few times back and forth until I am happy with how they are cooked.
Once all beef and potato tacos have been made it’s time to eat! I love these with homemade Pico de Gallo (I have included that recipe down below on the recipe card for you), sour cream, and taco sauce. You can top them with any of your favorite taco toppings though!
