Culinary Experiment Turned Out Pretty Good

[Subdeacon Joe]

First attempt.  This incorporates some changes I'll make in the next batch:
 

Potato-Onion-Cauliflower Tacos

 

1 Small Head Cauliflower, cut into small pieces.
½ Large Onion, diced about the same size

2 Small or Medium Potatoes, par cooked, cut into 3/8 dice

1 TBS Garlic, minced

Taco Seasoning Mix to Taste (I used ~ 3 TBS)

Chili Powder to Taste (~ 1 TBS)

Soy Sauce, maybe 1 to 2 tsp.

Juice of one Lime

A little Salt
Scant tsp sauce from Chipotles in Adobo. (optional)

Corn Tortillas

Oil for frying.

 

 

Par cook the potatoes, you want them still somewhat firm (microwave for 2 to 3 minutes).

Place your 12” non-stick skillet over medium high heat, add some oil.  Cut your potatoes into 3/8 dice, add to pan, shake to make a single layer.  Add some salt.  Let them sit and get brown on one side.

Cut the onion in half lengthwise, then make 3/8” wide longitudinal cuts, then cut across.  Add chopped onions to pan along with potatoes.  Stir everything around a bit.

Chop the Cauliflower, add to pan.  Add seasonings.  Mix.  Add lime juice. Mix.  Let sit to get some color, mix.  Let sit. Add about ½ to ¾ cup of water, stir, put lid on pan.  Let simmer for a few minutes. Remove lid when you are about half way through cooking the tortillas.  Stir it now and then so it doesn’t scorch.  While it is simmering:

Add about ¾ of an inch of oil to a black iron skillet, or sheet steel pan.  Fold tortillas into “taco shell” shape and hold with tongs.  Not too tightly, you want a gap.  Once the bottom is set lay the tortilla over into the oil and start another one the same way. Turn to crisp the other side. When crisp, drain over the pan, then place on end in a bread pan or other high sided pan lined with paper towels.  When you have enough tortillas cooked, fill with the veggie mix, add your favorite topping or not.  Enjoy.
