Ancho-Spiced Pork and Potato Tacos
Potatoes and pork seasoned with ancho chili powder and cumin make an easy, flavorful filling for tacos. Be sure to use a nonstick skillet, as the potatoes’ starch makes them prone to sticking. If you like, offer a few of the garnishes suggested and allow diners to top their own tacos.

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the potatoes, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and tender.

This was good for such a simple dish. I think you'll definitely need to add some additional salt and lime juice though.
