  • Mix well and make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Place your potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Make sure to shake the air fryer basket half way through the cooking process so the potatoes cook evenly.

Sauce

  • In a food processor, add all of your sauce ingredients and blend well until you get a smooth and creamy consistency!

Additional Toppings - Green Chillies Soaked in Vinegar

  • Chop up your favorite green chilies - you can use jalapeno, serrano, or whatever you like.
  • place these chilies in a small bowl filled with white vinegar and let them soak at least 15 minutes. You can then use this as a topping with tacos.

  • Make a 1:1 mixture of melted butter and tapatio sauce.
  • Coat each side of the tortillas in this mixture and cook on medium heat.

Garnish

  • Finish with your favorite toppings: cheese, lettuce, cilantro, or whatever else you like.
