Our cooking is part of a new monthly blog series we'll be doing called Three Cooks One Kitchen. Each month the three of us are going to be getting together, making some delicious/exciting/new-to-us food and blogging about it. The food might not always be great, but the stories sure will be!
Our menu for the night was Mexican Potato and Bean Tacos and Mexican-Style Jugo Juice.
Joanna and I got to work on the juice.
Hannah took the lead on preparing the potatoes.

While the juice may have been a bust, the Mexican Potato and Bean Tacos were out of this world.
Mexican Potato and Bean Tacos
Makes 6 tacos
For the potatoes:
5 medium Yukon gold potatoes
2 TB olive oil
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp Hungarian paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
*Add more or less of the chili powder and paprika depending on your heat preference.
For the tacos:
6 flour tortillas shells
15 oz can of vegetarian refried beans, warmed
Shredded lettuce
1 tomato, chopped
1 avocado, chopped
Salsa
Any additional toppings that you desire
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray or line with a silpat baking liner.
- Cut potatoes into half-inch pieces.
- Toss potatoes in olive oil and seasonings until well coated. Stir in the garlic.
- Spread potatoes onto the baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until golden brown.
- Compile the tacos in the following order: tortilla, refried beans, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, salsa, and any additional toppings that you desire. (Or do what I do and just throw everything together and eat it with a fork and knife!)
Dinner was delicious. Even better was the company, conversation, and laughter. Time with girlfriends is good for the soul. Make time to get cooking with yours!
