In researching a piece on potatoes I came across this recipe from Red Fire Farm.  What a dynamic twist on the taco!  It is also a fabulous idea for a simple week night meal.

Potato Tacos (serves 4)

4-6 tortillas
2 1/2 c. par-boiled potatoes
1 cup chorizo, soyrizo, or any sausage/protein equivalent
1 t. cumin
1 t. cayenne powder or 1/2 fresh hot pepper
1/2 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic
handful of cilantro and greens  

In a well oiled pan add onion, garlic, and meat or substitute. Saute a few minutes then add the cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Cook until potatoes are browned.
Stuff into a tortilla and top with cilantro, greens, and other condiments you like.
(Note:) If using tofu, increase the spices slightly in order to soak up the flavor
. Soyrizo is a spicy sausage substitute that can be found in most grocery stores that carry tofu products. (I've even noticed it at Market Basket in Boston).
