Potato Tacos with Homemade Salsa [Vegan]

Ingredients

Salsa

• 3 roma tomatoes
• 4 tomatillos
• 3 shallots
• 1/2 lime juiced
• 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least two hours to overnight
• Two cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, maybe a bit extra
• 20 dried chile de arbol, stemmed seeded and place in bowl with hot water poured over
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes

Filling

• 1 can drained and rinsed black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 4 radishes sliced thin
• Other half of lime, juiced
• 1 shallot, sliced thin
• 1 red pepper
• A handful chopped cilantro

Potatoes

• 4 russet potatoes boiled skin on for 12 minutes, drained and peeled and broken apart with hands
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Broil the tomatoes, tomatillos, and peeled shallots. Cut them all in half and spray them with coconut oil spray, broil for 5 minutes, check on them; if the outer skin of the tomatoes are blackened, they are good; if they aren't broil for 2-5 more minutes.
2. When they are out of the broiler and cool enough to handle, remove skins and puree with other ingredients, using only a few tablespoons of the water from the chilies.
3. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too thick - it should be creamy and pour-able.
4. Place oil in a small sauce pan, heat over high until shimmering, cook potatoes in small batches until golden and crispy. Place on a plate with a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Warm tortillas of choice, and top with potatoes, relish, and special sauce.
6. The nutritional yeast adds a bit of "cheese" taste to the sauce.
