### 👩‍🍳 **How to Make Potato Tacos with Green Chilies**

#### 1. **Cook the Potatoes**

Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add diced potatoes and cook until just tender (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

#### 2. **Sauté Aromatics**

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

#### 3. **Add Spices and Chilies**

Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then add the canned green chilies.

#### 4. **Combine Potatoes**

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Gently toss everything together, letting the potatoes soak up the flavors and get a little crispy on the edges (about 5-7 minutes).

#### 5. **Warm Tortillas**

Heat your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

#### 6. **Assemble Tacos**

Spoon the potato and green chili mixture onto each tortilla. Top with your favorite toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
