Creamy Spinach and Onion taquitos
I was looking for a new plant-based recipe for taquitos. I came up with this iteration of a Spinach and Onion Taquito by using a combination of ingredients from a couple of recipes.

Ingredients
Ingredients
5lbs Russet potatoes cubed into 1-2" cubes (Save the cut away portions for air fryer)
3tbs dried basil
2tbs garlic powder
2tbs onion powder
5tbs organic balsamic vinegar
4tbs of non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
3/4 large bunch of spinach chopped
1 large bunch cilantro chopped
2 Avocados Mashed
1 Large Sweet Onion in a Medium Chop
Slap Ya Mamma (to taste)
4tbs of Nutritional Yeast
Garlic Powder (to taste)
3tbs Minced Garlic
16-32 oil free corn tortillas
6-8 Flour or Vegetable Flour Tortillas
6-8tbs of lemon juice
2-3tbs of braggs liquid aminos
3-6tbs of standard non GMO/organic Fajita seasonings (or your own fajita seasoning mix)
HOW TO:
MAKING THE POTATOES:5lbs Russet potatoes cubed into 1-2" cubes (up to you on whether to use skins or not)3tbs dried basil2tbs garlic powder2tbs onion powder3-6tbs organic balsamic vinegarAdd all ingredients then just cover potatoes to pot in water and bring to boil stirring ocassionally.Boil potatoes until fork tender all the way through...maybe a little more tender than you'd normally cook them.Drain the water into the sink.Rough-mash the potatoes by mixing slowly while adding the non-dairy milk.MAKING THE FILLING:1-2 Avocados Mashed1 Large Sweet Onion in a Medium Chop5tbs of Nutritional YeastGarlic Powder (to taste)1 large bunch of Spinach Chopped1 very small bunch of Cilantro finely Chopped1 batch - Rough-Mashed PotatoesFinely chop the spinach and cilantro and add to the skillet heating over medium along with the mashed avacado and some lemon juice enough to lightly steam and 4-5tbs of nutritional yeast. Once steamed in a gooey/thick fashion careful not to overcook move over to mashed potato mixture and mix in.Then bring the second skillet with onions, garlic powder and vinegar to medium and sauté for a few minutes until tender and translucent, preferably dark and caramelized. Once the liquid is starting to evaporate and there's not much left add a tbs of fajita seasoning. Then add a splash or two of water to de-glaze them from the bottom of the pan and mix it all in letting saute/carmelize some more. (be careful not to get too much water or you'll dilute the carmelized flavor). Repeat with one more iterations of fajita seasoning and two more deglazing episodes.The last time you deglaze just let the sauce the onions are in thicken a little and add the whole lot to the mashed potato mixture.Mix in very well adding the remaining fajita seasoning.Cook for a 2-3 more minutes in large skillet or until thickens a bit then pull from heat.Final Prep:Layout corn tortillas and brush with lime juice/braggs lightly and sprinkle with fajita seasoning or perhaps taco seasoning or just some paprika if you so desire..Put 2-4tbs of mashed potato mixture in the tortilla and roll.Place the taquitos into the air fryer or oven until crispy. I did the corn tortillas in the oven at 410 for 25min and was just about right. Then I did some vegetable flour tortillas in the air fryer for 10min each and was perfect.Serve with:I like to serve it with guacamole, pico chips and green salsa.
