Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large russet potato, peeled

2 tablespoons diced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup plant-based butter (such as Country Crock®)
2 tablespoons unsweetened, plain almond milk

  • Heat tortillas in a skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 3 tablespoons of potato mixture down the center of each tortilla, fold over, and roll up.

  • Place taquitos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and mist with avocado oil. Cook in batches if necessary.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for taquitos, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so that they don't crack.
  • Don't overfill the taquitos. If you put too much filling in the taquitos, they will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 1 tablespoon of filling per taquito.
  • Seal the taquitos tightly. Once you've filled the taquitos, be sure to seal them tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out. You can do this by folding the ends of the tortillas in or by using a toothpick to secure them.
  • Air fry the taquitos until they are crispy. The taquitos should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will usually take about 10 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the tortillas and the amount of filling.
  • Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce. Taquitos are traditionally served with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. You can also serve them with your favorite hot sauce or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Air fryer taquitos are a quick and easy way to make a delicious and satisfying meal. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will love.
