Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• avocado oil cooking spray
• 1 large russet potato, peeled
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1 teaspoon plant-based butter (such as Country Crock®)
• 2 tablespoons diced onions
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened, plain almond milk
• 0.25 cup plant-based butter (such as Country Crock®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place potato into a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

While potato is boiling, melt 1 teaspoon plant-based butter in a skillet and saute onions until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside

Step 4

Drain potato and transfer to a bowl. Pour in 1/4 cup plant-based butter and almond milk, season with salt and pepper, and mash. Mix in onion and garlic until well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Air fry until taquitos are golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Turn taquitos over, mist with avocado oil, and air fry for 3 to 5 minutes more.
