Instructions

  1. Cook Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes, then cook in boiling water with salt until fork tender. Mash the potatoes and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat oil in a pan, sauté onion, carrot, garlic, and spices. Add vegetable broth, peas, and cook until carrots are softened.
  3. Combine Filling: Add mashed potatoes and vegan cheese to the pan, mix well, and adjust seasonings to taste.
  4. Prepare Taquitos: Place filling on tortillas, roll them up tightly, and arrange on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Brush taquitos with oil, sprinkle taco seasoning, and bake until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve: Enjoy with salsa, sour cream, vegan queso, or guacamole. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • If you don’t like peas, you can use chickpeas or beans for protein.
  • Try vegan ground ‘beef’ as a meat substitute.
  • For extra crispiness, pan-fry taquitos instead of baking.
  • Warm store-bought tortillas before use.
