    Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

    Cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
  5. Assemble the Tacos

    Spread a generous amount of potato mixture onto each tortilla and top with shredded cheese and cabbage.

    Fold the tortillas gently to avoid tearing.
  6. Serve

    Serve the tacos warm, garnished with additional toppings if desired.
