These were so awesome and SO easy! Matt, who is not a big bean eater, loved these. The key is very flavorful potatoes and beans.

vegetable oil

4-6 potatoes, peel and diced

Adobo seasoning (I used my homemade)

1 clove garlic, chopped

Refried Beans (your favorite. I used homemade)

corn tortillas

shredded Mexican blend cheese

salsa

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add potatoes; season generously with Adobo. Fry til crispy brown; stir in garlic and cook another minute or so. Drain on a paper bag or towel.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d191/d663/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Meanwhile, heat beans and fry tortillas til soft.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d193/d663/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d192/d663/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Layer tortillas with beans, potatoes and your favorite toppings. http://media-files.gather.com/images/d194/d663/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

I used cheese and my habanero sauce and served with guacamole cream.

Netty B. Apr 23, 2009, 9:57am EDT
Hmmm..it looks good to me!

This looks like a carb addicts dream dinner. That guacamole cream looks devine!
☃ Aunt Shanny Apr 23, 2009, 9:58am EDT
Make your own, B. It's much better!
Cristina S. Apr 23, 2009, 9:59am EDT
This sounds awesome!
I'll bet it would work w/o the cheese too, for my vegans. The spicy potatoes are something they would surely enjoy a lot!

Here is my recipe, B:

You won't even miss the cheese, Cristina.
Rob Appell Apr 23, 2009, 10:01am EDT
I'm so awesome and I'm SO easy...and I don't like beans, either. And guess what? Unlike Matt, I don't want these, either. How about you put the taters and topping on the plate and put that smashed, leftover bean stuff with Heinz on it in that taco thingie.
Kelly Kay Apr 23, 2009, 10:06am EDT
Carb lovers dream is right, can I name these Irish Tacos?! =D

They look really good, maybe if I am extra good on my diet, I can get away with these for a meal!
Rose H. Apr 23, 2009, 10:06am EDT
Now I'm hungry - this looks soo good:)
kathleen w. Apr 23, 2009, 10:11am EDT
interesting thanks !
John S. (arizona) Apr 23, 2009, 10:27am EDT
These work for me for sure... yum! Hold the "guac" though... ;-)
Jennifer F. Apr 23, 2009, 10:53am EDT
These sound great.
Cindy B. Apr 23, 2009, 11:52am EDT
Looks good =)
This sounds intriguing, and I mean that in a good way. :) I'll definitely give it a try, probably without the cheese, too.
Sarah (I want points) Apr 23, 2009, 2:38pm EDT
This is something I haven't heard of before. They do look good though.
Amanda C. Apr 23, 2009, 3:11pm EDT
sounds good, minus cheese.. Unfortunately I am off all dairy for a few weeks.
David W. Apr 23, 2009, 3:34pm EDT
Sounds great and, if like Amanda says, hold the cheese, it's perfect for my Vegan son-in-law.
Bridget ♥ Apr 23, 2009, 3:50pm EDT
we are going to have to try these!
Larry H. Apr 23, 2009, 4:38pm EDT

These do look good. Wonder if Roger would like them or not
Ava's Mom (formerly known as Robiyah) Apr 25, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
Ok, you twisted my arm nearly off. I'd try these. Just need habanero sauce.
Courtney C. Apr 26, 2009, 7:51pm EDT
That sounds good!
Victoria H. Apr 27, 2009, 9:03pm EDT

Victoria H. Apr 27, 2009, 9:08pm EDT
It's easy, frugal, and different.
JOHN BECK Apr 27, 2009, 9:45pm EDT
What kind of potatoes do you prefer in this dish? Anyway, sounds good.
jennifer t. Apr 28, 2009, 7:34am EDT
