Ingredients for Baja Crema
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp PSC Organic Baja Seasoning
¼ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
Ingredients for Tacos
2 large russet potatoes, peeled, diced
3/4 cup canned corn, drained, rinsed
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp PSC Garlic Salt
½ tsp cumin, ground
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8 soft small corn tortillas
oil, for frying
1 cup shredded cabbage
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)
Steps for Baja Crema
- In a small mixing bowl, add sour cream, mayonnaise, PSC Organic Baja Seasoning and fresh chopped cilantro. Mix together until well combined. Try the mixture, add salt or lime to taste.
- Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Steps for Tacos
- Peel and dice the potatoes then place them in a medium pot and cover them with water.
- Place the pot on medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Cover with a lid and cook until potatoes are soft (about 20 minutes).
- Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the drained corn, butter, garlic salt, ground cumin, 1/4 cup Baja Crema, and salt and pepper. Mash together until smooth and well combined. Try the mixture, add additional salt and butter to taste.
- Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp, clean tea towel and microwave for 30 seconds. This will soften the tortillas.
- Spread 1 tbsp of the mash evenly over half of a tortilla. Gently fold the other half over the top of the mash and press down gently. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Add ½ inch of oil to a frying pan and place on medium heat. Test to see when the oil is hot by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- Use a large slotted spoon to carefully lower the folded potato tacos into the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
To Serve
- Arrange the Potato and Corn Tacos on a serving plate, fill with cabbage, drizzle with the Baja Crema.
- Top with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
