Instructions:
Preparation of Yucca Hash Browns:
Peel the yucca root and cut it into manageable chunks.
Use a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment to grate the yucca.
Place the grated yucca in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
Season the squeezed yucca with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, or paprika.
Form small portions of the yucca mixture into hash brown patties.
Cooking Yucca Hash Browns:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the yucca hash browns in the skillet, ensuring they are not too crowded.
Cook until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side.
Place the cooked yucca hash browns on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Sautéing Vegetables:
In the same skillet, heat more olive oil if needed.
Add thinly sliced red onions and bell peppers to the skillet.
Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Combining Yucca Hash Browns and Vegetables:
Add the cooked yucca hash browns to the skillet with sautéed vegetables.
Gently mix everything together until well combined.
Warming Taco Shells:
Warm the taco shells or tortillas in the oven or on a dry skillet.
Assembling Tacos:
Fill each taco shell with the yucca hash brown and vegetable mixture.
Toppings:
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and any other toppings you prefer.
