Directions:

  1. Grate red potatoes into a bowl. To make it easier to fry, squeeze out excess moisture using a paper towel or cheese cloth.
  2. Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the grated red potato and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Continue cooking for about 3-5 minutes, or until the edges get crispy and turn brown. Remove the potatoes from the skillet once they get crispy.
  5. Lightly beat the egg whites with garlic, sea salt, and pepper.
  6. Brush skillet with cooking oil or use cooking spray. Pour the egg whites until it covers the bottom of the pan. DO NOT scramble, and allow it to cook over medium heat.
  7. Leave to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until done.
  8. Remove the egg tortilla from the skillet and place in a taco holder to cool. Repeat with the rest of the egg whites.
  9. To create the tacos, lay egg tortilla on a plate. Layer potatoes, mashed avocado, cheddar cheese, green onion, and spinach on top.
  10. Drizzle with sriracha, fold in half, and enjoy!
