When first made these tacos according to recipe they where just alright. The second time I added chicken boullin (I use Knorrs also called "Caldo de Pollo") a small pinch of cumin and a dash of garlic salt and they where AWESOME. The green salsa recipe is fantastic just as directed. I also cut the potatoes to 3 instead of 5. The best tacos I have made a keeper!
First and most importantly make it with 2-3 potatoes. 5 is WAY too much. You end up with a potato filling with only a hint of meat. Secondly use a food processer for making the sauce. A blender is too hard to use for this thick of a sauce.
These are great! Such a nice change from regular tacos. We love the potatoes in it and the green sauce really completes the dish. We aren't big fans of corn tortillas but these just aren't as good with flour tortillas. Gotta do the corn tortillas!:) And I learned not to heat the corn tortillas in the microwave...they broke so easily and got a weird taste; will definitely heat on the stove from now on.
Tasted great was quick and easy to make. The sauce is wonderful. We added some jalapeno slices from a jar for a little extra heat but it was great without the tinkering. Will add some extra tomatillos next time for the tartness. Husband really loved it.
The sauce is indeed excellent I added lime juice for a little extra zing. Also like other review's I cut the potatoes down to two.
These were fantastic; I modified the recipe however. I only used one large potato and a pound of meat. 5 potatoes would be WAY too much. Also added comino salt pepper and a little chili powder to the meat. Used 6 raw tomatillos 2 avocados juice of 1 lime salt pepper and added light sour cream to the sauce. It really needs the lime and sour cream in my opinion. It was fantastic. Be sure to warm your corn tortillas in an iron skillet.
These were really good. As others suggested I cut down on the potatoes; I only used one. The tomatillo guacomole is an outstanding combination with the homey potato/onion/hamburger filling. I was too cheap to buy 3 avocados; I only used one and the ratio with the other ingredients was great. I did not use a blender for the sauce just finely chopped everything. Really good. Thank you!
Too many potatoes. The green sauce was wonderful. I did add one more avocado coursely chopped to add some "chunk". I agree with a previous reviewer who said this would be easier to do with a food processor which I currently do not have...sadly. I did add salt to the green sauce to taste. I did put shredded cheese on the tacos as well. We really enjoyed these tacos.
My family loves to have dishes that have tomatillo sauce in them. However this dish was very bland. I agree with another reviewer about the amount of potato was too much. I put in just 2 medium size and it was too much. It was more like having potato tacos but without flavor. I have made breakfast tacos with tomatillo and potatoes that had better flavor. The recipe was that horrible I just had high expectations for this recipe.
