Spicy Potato Tacos

I found this recipe on the Food Network website and it has become a family favorite. We call these our glorified tacos because you can add in anything you want. It's such an easy recipe and definitely worth the effort.

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1 (16 oz) bag pre-cooked diced red-skin potatoes
1/3 cup cheese
1 (16 oz) can refried beans
3/4 cup cilantro salsa, plus more for serving
large taco shells [we usually get the burrito size]
tomato, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, etc. for serving 

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet and set it aside.

-In a large mixing bowl, stir together oil and fajita seasoning. Add potatoes and toss until well coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes. 

-Meanwhile, stir together beans and salsa and heat.

-Put tacos together to your liking and enjoy

Yield 6 servings

***I usually don't worry about using red potatoes. I will use whatever we have and it turns out great. Also, I microwave the potatoes on the baked potato setting to make them soft before cutting them to be seasoned***
