Yield:

6 taquitos

Ingredients

Vegan Air Fryer Taquitos
1 large russet potato, peeled
1 teaspoon plant-based butter (such as Country Crock)
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup plant-based butter (such as Country Crock)
2 tablespoons unsweetened, plain almond milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 corn tortillas
avocado oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Meanwhile, melt 1 teaspoon plant-based butter in a skillet. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 4

Drain potato and transfer to a bowl. Add 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 over 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

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place taquitos into the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch; mist with avocado oil.

Step 7

Working in batches if necessary, air-fry taquitos until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 9 minutes. Flip taquitos, mist with avocado oil, and air-fry for 3 to 5 more minutes.
