Method:-

To prepare taco shells:

1. Firstly, in a large bowl, take all purpose flour, salt, baking powder and oil. Mix them well to get a crumble texture.
2. Now add water in parts and knead them to a soft dough. Grease the dough with some oil and keep it aside for 15-20 mins.
3. After resting, knead the dough slightly. Now, pinch a lemon sized dough, dust it with some flour and start rolling it with a rolling pin. Roll it neither too thick nor too thin. Prepare all the taco sheets in the same manner and keep aside.
4. Next, heat a non-stick pan. Place one taco sheet on the heated pan and semi-roast them from both the sides without adding oil. Prepare all the taco sheets in the same manner and keep aside.

To prepare stuffing:

1. Firstly, heat mustard oil in a pan. Then add in the chopped onions and fry till they turn translucent. Take them out from the pan and keep aside.
2. Now, in the same pan, add the dried red chillies and fry them till they turn crisp. Take them out from the pan and keep aside. (Add in the chillies as per your spice level).
3. On cooling, add some salt to the dried red chillies and crush them together to a semi-fine powder. Now, mix the onions to the crushed chilli.
4. Further, take the mashed potatoes, chopped coriander leaves, mixed herbs, salt and mix them very well with the crushed chilli. The taco stuffing is ready.

Assembling potato tacos:

1. Firstly, take a taco sheet and apply schezwan sauce on it. Now spread some grated cheese on half the taco sheet.
2. Next, place the stuffing on the cheese (on half taco sheet). Then, again top the stuffing with some cheese.
3. Now, fold the taco sheets to half and press the taco sheet gently. The taco is ready. Prepare all the tacos in the similar way and keep aside.
4. Now, heat a griddle pan and put a tsp of butter or oil on the pan. Now, place 2 tacos on the pan and cook them on medium flame till both the sides turn golden and crisp. Remember to cook the sides too.
5. Finally, your hot and crispy potato tacos are ready to be served.
