Instructions

1.
Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and cilantro. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2.
Cook the Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3.
Season the Potatoes: Add the halved or quartered Jersey Royal potatoes to the skillet. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
4.
Cook Potato Mixture: Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes. If the potatoes start to stick, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan.
5.
Add Black Beans: Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through.
6.
Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas according to package instructions. You can warm them in a dry skillet, in the microwave, or in the oven.
7.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the seasoned potato and black bean mixture. Top with the mango salsa and crumbled cotija cheese (if using).
8.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the potato and black bean mixture before serving.

Adjust the amount of jalapeño in the mango salsa to your preferred level of spice.

You can use other types of potatoes if Jersey Royals are not available. Yukon gold or red potatoes work well.

If you prefer a creamier filling, mash some of the potatoes with a fork before adding the black beans.

Garnish with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream (or vegan sour cream) for added richness.
