Spuds & Onion Tacos

Always looking to remake a meat dish into a veggie one that is still desirable. One of my students just loved to fill ready-made taco shells with just about anything that made a quick meal. This is one I came up with for him. The time for this recipe does not include prep and cooking of potatoes.
